Our new Igloo Book Buzz selection is BETTER OFF DEAD, a new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child and Andrew Child, published by Delacorte Press on Tuesday, October 26. VP & Editorial Director Kara Cesare says, “Working with Lee and Andrew on the Jack Reacher series is pure joy. Because of their brilliant minds working together, Jack Reacher should be ready for even more incredible, action-packed and unforgettable adventures.”
Some brothers are fierce rivals. Some are close compatriots. And others, in the case of noted authors Lee and Andrew Child, are partners on the page. In BETTER OFF DEAD, they have teamed up once again for the next Jack Reacher novel, bringing their trademark suspense and breakneck pacing (and high body count!) that have become the hallmarks of this iconic series.
Since the publication of Killing Floor more than 20 years and 20 books ago, Jack Reacher has grown into a global phenomenon, perennially topping bestseller lists, boasting more than 100 million copies in print internationally, and inspiring two major motion pictures as well as a forthcoming streaming series from Amazon Studios, Skydance TV and Paramount TV Studios starring Alan Ritchson. Fans include everyone from beloved New York Times critic Janet Maslin, bestselling authors like James Patterson, Stephen King, and Malcolm Gladwell, actor Henry Winkler, and countless booksellers and reviewers alike who have praised Reacher for his heroic moral compass and his ruthless pursuit of fighting for the underdog.
