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。

In Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller, ex–military cop Reacher sees more than most people would...and because of that, he’s thrust into an explosive situation that’s about to blow up in his face. For the only way to find the truth—and save two innocent lives—is to do it the way Jack Reacher does it best: the hard way….

Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance—because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world.

On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer’s past…and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He’s beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he’s already in way too deep to stop now.
