李查德 LEE CHILD
他用六塊美金創造了奇蹟!
李查德一九五四年生於英國。上高中時,他獲得獎學金而成了《魔戒》作者托爾金的學弟。之後他曾就讀法學院、在戲院打工,最後進入電視台,展開長達十八年的電視人生涯,期間參與了許多叫好叫座的節目製作。
四十歲那年,他卻於一夕之間失業了。這個突來的噩耗原本是青天霹靂,然而就像他筆下智勇雙全的動作英雄傑克.李奇每每能夠化險為夷一樣,他將這個中年危機化為最有利的轉機。
酷愛閱讀的他花了六塊美金買了紙筆,寫下「浪人神探」傑克.李奇系列的第一集《地獄藍調》,結果一出版就登上英國週日泰晤士報暢銷排行榜,在美國更贏得推理小說最高殊榮之一的安東尼獎,以及巴瑞獎的「最佳處女作獎」,並榮獲麥卡維提獎和黛莉絲獎提名。而次年出版的第二集《至死方休》亦榮獲W.H.史密斯好讀獎。
此後他以一年一本的速度推出續集,每出版必定征服大西洋兩岸各大暢銷排行榜,更風靡了全球四十三國的讀者,不但獲得美國驚悚大師傑佛瑞.迪佛的強力背書推薦,故事大師史蒂芬‧金也盛讚:「所有關於傑克.李奇的冒險故事都棒呆了!」
李查德目前長居美國,在紐約曼哈頓與法國南部都有居所。他已婚,並有一個成年的女兒。

Amazon.com When Jack Reacher suddenly decides to ask a Greyhound bus driver to let him off near the town of Margrave, Georgia, he thinks it's because his brother once mentioned that the famed blues guitarist Blind Blake died there. But it doesn't take long for the footloose ex-military policeman to discover that there are plenty of strange--and very dangerous--things going on behind Margrave's manicured lawns and clean streets that demand his attention. This first thriller by a former television writer features some of the best-written scenes of action in recent memory, a crash course in currency and counterfeiting, and a hero who is just begging to be called on for an encore. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal The transient Jack Reacher finds himself in tiny Margrave, Georgia, and is almost immediately arrested, if briefly, as a murder suspect. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that one of the victims is his brother, a brilliant U.S. Treasury agent. Reacher himself is no slouch; a former military policeman, he can dispatch villains with an astonishing array of weapons, including various parts of his body. In the company of a straight-arrow detective and a beautiful lady cop, Reacher soon unearths a conspiracy stretching through the little town and beyond. Blood flows freely, terrible threats are made and carried out, and body parts accumulate. First novelist Child, a former television writer, stretches coincidence outrageously in this would-be noir outing, whose hero is creepily amoral, violent, and generally unpleasant. Only large pop fiction collections need consider.?Elsa Pendleton, Boeing Information Svcs., Ridgecrest, Cal.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
