Jack Reacher is about to get personal in Lee Child’s new book
WHEN I greet Jim Grant by his first name, he corrects me. “It’s Lee. How are you?” Jim Grant, who worked in production with Granada Television, has been known as Lee Child since he published his first Jack Reacher novel in 1997.
Child is on the bill next weekend at Dún Laoghaire’s Mountains to Sea book festival. His visit to Ireland — the English writer has an apartment in Manhattan and homes in England and the south of France — coincides with the release of Personal, his 19th Jack Reacher book, a series that has sold 70m books.
