In hindsight, that move probably should have prompted more questions, but it’s not unheard of for famous writers to stop doing interviews or even book signings, for that matter.
It’s a stunning turn of events, as there’s been no word of a potential move within publishing circles leading up The Guardian’s report, though it’s worth mentioning that last summer Child’s team made it known to media members that he would be “scaling back” from granting interviews. Grant, 51, has penned a number of successful thrillers himself, including last year’s Invisible, but nothing quite as big as the franchise he’ll be inheriting from his brother-who has reportedly sold over 100 million books and seen his protagonist brought to life on the big screen in a pair of Hollywood movies. But instead of killing Reacher off, a topic he’s discussed in numerous interviews over the years, it appears the writer will instead turn his iconic hero over to his younger brother and fellow author, Andrew Grant. Lee Child, the mega-popular, New York Times bestselling author, is done writing Jack Reacher books.Īccording to a report from The Guardian, Child, 65 (whose real name is James Grant), is ready for retirement.
