Lee Child

For the creator of Jack Reacher, writing a thriller is an act of improvised discovery — a suitable method for the writer whose beloved hero has, through twenty-two books, chosen to surprise both readers and the bad guys he goes up against through his unpredictable, unstoppable life-in-the-moment.  On this episode, Lee Child talks about his new book The Midnight Line, how he went from the world of television to becoming one of the world's most widely read authors, and what makes a hero in the 21st century.
