Author Lee Child

Sixth and I Street Historic Synagogue, Quinta-feira, Outubro 17, 2013 às 7pm

Over the course of three #1 New York Times bestsellers—61 Hours, Worth Dying For, and A Wanted Man—Jack Reacher has been on a journey. In Lee Child's latest suspense novel, however, he throws Reacher for a loop that will change the man forever, and send him into his most perilous mission yet.

Finally arriving in Virginia, hoping to see the woman he spoke to on the phone in 61 Hours, Reacher finds himself drafted back into the Army and facing a case that digs deep into his past—and has personal ramifications that could change Reacher for life.

You think you know America's most enduring thriller hero, but in Never Go Back, Child has a shock for fans so game-changing that you'll realize you don't know Jack.

Lee Child is the author of 18 Jack Reacher thrillers; Tom Cruise starred in Jack Reacher, a movie based on One Shot. Child, a native of England and a former television director, lives in New York City. Book signing to follow.

Admission: Tickets are $14 or receive 2 FREE tickets with the purchase of the book ($28). Tickets can be purchased online or by calling TicketFly (877.987.6487). There is a $1.50 fee per ticket for phone orders. Doors open at 6:00 pm. (rhbouchard)… (mais)

Murder By The Book, Domingo, Setembro 8, 2013 às 5pm

Lee Child will sign and discuss Never Go Back (Delacorte; $28).

Lee Child was born in 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham. By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. He went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director during British TV’s “golden age.” During his tenure his company made Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and Cracker. But he was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an opportunity where others might have seen a crisis and bought six dollars’ worth of paper and pencils and sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series.

Killing Floor was an immediate success and launched the series which has grown in sales and impact with every new installment.

Lee has three homes—an apartment in Manhattan, a country house in the south of France, and whatever airplane cabin he happens to be in while traveling between the two. In the US he drives a supercharged Jaguar, which was built in Jaguar’s Browns Lane plant, thirty yards from the hospital in which he was born.

Lee spends his spare time reading, listening to music, and watching the Yankees, Aston Villa, or Marseilles soccer. He is married with a grown-up daughter. He is tall and slim, despite an appalling diet and a refusal to exercise.

We will start giving out numbers for this event on Tuesday, September 3rd. A copy of Never Go Back must be purchased from MBTB to go through the signing line and get anything signed.
