They go on the road together, from TV studios to bookstores, from Harvard to Stockholm, amid literary conferences and gunshows, rivalries and reviews ranging from adulatory to murderous. We meet fellow writers like Stephen King and David Lagercrantz and Karin Slaughter, and dissect the latest novel from Jonathan Franzen.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut Martin also reaches out to Child's legion of readers in America and around the world. He tracks down a woman in Texas whose name appears in the home invasion scene in \u003ci\u003eMake Me\u003c\/i\u003e; he goes up a mountain in Montana in search of the only reader who thinks Reacher is a \"lightweight\"; and he talks to obsessive fans from Europe to South Africa who find salvation or consolation in the colossal form of Jack Reacher. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis compelling account of life on the road with Lee Child demonstrates that readers are just as important as writers in the making of modern fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndy Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eReacher Said Nothing: Lee Child and the Making of\u003c\/i\u003e Make Me.
