Lee Child


I'm deviating from the intellectual mode of this blog and inserting some action. This guy's protagonist is Jack Reacher, a drifter. He is ex-military MP and owns and carries nothing but his toothbrush (though he does have a bank account he accesses occasionally). He ends up in fortuitous situations that cause me a lot of excitement. His first is killing floor where he drifts into a town and immediately is charged with murder. I think my favorite is Dye Trying where he walks out of a store and bumps into a lady who is being abducted at the time so they just take him along. All of his are exciting, especially for those of us with wandering spirits.
