Lee Child (aka James Dover Grant CBE) is an author, most well known for his thriller series Jack Reacher. The novels follow Jack, a former American military policeman, who ambles around the United States. The series has sold over 100 million copies, selling 9 books every second.
Lee Child was born in Coventry, went to law school in Sheffield and after part-time work in the theatre, he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director. But Lee was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. He decided to throw all those years of television experience behind writing a thriller, spent £3.99 on some paper and pencils, sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series.
Reacher launches on Prime Video on 4th February.
