Lee Child is a British author who writes thriller novels and is best known for his Jack Reacher series. The books follow the adventures of a former American military policeman who wanders the United States. His debut novel “Killing Floor,” the first Jack Reacher novel, won both the Anthony Award and the Barry Award for Best First Novel. He is the author of twenty-three The New York Times’ bestselling Jack Reacher thrillers and he just released his twenty-fourth, “Blue Moon,” last month.

According to Amazon, In “Blue Moon,” Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is just a victim waiting to happen. But no good deed goes unpunished and now Reacher wants to make it right. An elderly couple has made a few well-meaning mistakes and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs. Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs and the assassins. When he teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she is letting on, he sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. The odds are against him but Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice; the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.
