Reacher: The Stories Behind The Stories

From global bestseller and creator of Jack Reacher, comes Lee Child’s first-ever autobiographical collection. From urgently scribbling out his debut Killing Floor in pencil (the stub of which he still owns), to seeing his novels adapted for the big screen . . . here are Lee Child’s fascinating personal reflections on his life and work. Crafted across decades, this is the story of a man who once put pencil to paper in an attempt to turn his luck around . . . and who made every word count. 'Essential reading for all Reacher fans.' STEVE CAVANAGH 'Need a Lee Child/Reacher fix? Of course you do . . . This book is perfect for rabid fans and unabashed addicts – like me.' JAMES PATTERSON ‘Fans of the series (and would-be writers looking for tips) will relish this . . . engaging and instructive’ Sunday Times © Lee Child 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
