NOTE: TV-MA (Language) Author Lee Child is in conversation onstage at the City Opera House with New York Times bestselling author and host Doug Stanton for a fascinating discussion on his life and work, including the eagerly anticipated new novel, A Wanted Man (published September 2012).
Child has become an international sensation and regular fixture atop the New York Times bestsellers list. He is published in ninety-five countries and in forty languages, with more than thirteen million books in print in the United States.
His hero, Jack Reacher, finds himself in all kinds of interesting jams, which Reacher handles with a wary eye, dry humor and good manners. Lee's spare, musical prose is unstoppable -- once you start a Reacher novel, you finish that night.
Called "the best thriller writer in the business" by The Boston Globe, Lee is looking forward to none other than Tom Cruise depicting Jack Reacher in the Paramount film series, launching 2012.
