One of Lee Child's thrillers
featuring his hero Jack Reacher is bought somewhere in the world every 20
seconds - and, per capita, sale of his books in New Zealand outsells all other
markets. He is translated into 41 languages and sold in in 96 countries.
The latest Jack Reacher book
is Personal - it's the story of a sniper with a grudge which sees
the lone drifter Reacher dragged into the cross-hairs. But Reacher is an
expert on human nature, and on force - he knows how to hit a guy in the right
place, using the right force, to stun, cripple or kill. Reacher's would-be
killer becomes his target.
Wallace Chapman talks to Lee
Child (right) about the success of the Jack Reacher stories - how he explains the
popularity of the former military policeman who never stays in one place longer
than he needs to, and whose only luggage is his toothbrush.
