Lee  Child  &  Jack  Reacher
                | short profile |
"You do not mess with the special investigators." — Jack Reacher in "Bad Luck and Trouble"
"The stories are all very contemporary, but Reacher is an old-West character for sure.
He could be a Zane Grey character. But the funny thing is, I didn't really realize that
until well after the first book was written, and I wasn't a big Western fan as a kid."
— Lee Child

          On January 18 2020 Lee Child announced that his younger brother Andrew Grant would take over as writer of the Jack Reacher novels writing under the pen name of Andrew Child. The two brothers intend to write the next few novels together after which Andrew Grant will "strike out on his own".

"Hunt For Reacher" by Diane Capri
Reacher is referred to in a series of novels & short stories, but is never explicitly seen; the stories center around F.B.I. Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar,
who are working in an off-the-books investigation into Reacher's background. Capri said in an interview that the series was inspired by her wondering
'What's [Reacher] doing between books?'.
