Gone Tomorrow
By
Lee Child
Summary:
Suicide bombers
are easy to spot. They give out all kinds of tell-tale signs. Mostly because
they're nervous. By definition they're all first-timers.
There are twelve things to look for: No one who has worked in law enforcement will ever forget them.
New York City. The subway, two o'clock in the morning. Jack Reacher studies his fellow passengers. Four are OK. The fifth isn't.
The train brakes for Grand Central Station. Will Reacher intervene, and save lives? Or is he wrong? Will his intervention cost lives - including his own?
BIO
Lee Child was
born October 29th, 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in
the nearby city of Birmingham. By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same
high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. He went to law school in Sheffield,
England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television
in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a
presentation director during British TV's "golden age." During his
tenure his company made Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime
Suspect, and Cracker. But he was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of
corporate restructuring. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an opportunity
where others might have seen a crisis and bought six dollars' worth of paper
and pencils and sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack
Reacher series.
