李查德（Lee Child）

非写作科班出身的他，用六块美金创造了奇迹！

李查德1954年出生于英国，与《魔戒》的作者托尔金读同一所高中，拿同样的奖学金。从法学院毕业后，他进入电视台担任节目主持人和制作人，一干就是十八年。年届不惑之时他忽然失业，酷爱文学的他花六块美金买来纸笔，写下“浪子神探”杰克•李奇系列的第一部，结果一出版即登上英国《泰晤士报》畅销排行榜，更在美国勇夺推理小说最高殊荣之一安东尼奖桂冠。

此后他以一年一本的速度推出续集，每每出版必定征服大西洋两岸各大畅销排行榜，更风靡了各个国家，“浪子神探”系列迄今已出版十五部，全球累计销量超过三千七百万册。

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, from the world he lives in—no phone, no address, no commitments–ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. In Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller, Reacher’s arrival will change everything—about a case that isn’t what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot–and by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth.…

But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But when Reacher hears Barr’s own words, he understands. And a slam-dunk case explodes. Soon Reacher is teamed with a young defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle, Reacher is at his best.

Moving in the shadows, picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher, the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness and respect his cunning–and then match him shot for shot….
