A WANTED MAN goes on sale in the US and Canada on Tuesday, September 11th! If you're up early that day, you can catch Lee on CBS This Morning (7:00-9:00 AM). His book tour begins Tuesday night at 7:00 PM at the Barnes & Noble store at 82nd & Broadway in NYC and then he's on the road. See his website EVENTS page for more cities, dates and times. If you can't make it to a signing but want a signed copy, call any of the stores listed on the EVENTS page and they'll take your order via phone or email.
Early reviews for A WANTED MAN are in and they're raves!
With Child, you can always count on furious action — and a damned good time.
—The Miami Herald
[A] page-turning caper filled with well-timed surprises. Less surprising, but no less welcome for that, is Reacher's grace under pressure—whether in math-induced meditation ("numbers called to him, twisting and turning and revealing their hidden facets") or in chilling battle mode ("it had been a head shot, through and through . . . like a curveball finding the strike zone").
There is also the saving grace of Reacher's deadpan humor—as when he is
sawing with a motel key at a captive's rope bindings. "Don't you have a knife?"
the man asks. "I have a toothbrush," Reacher responds. "That won't help," the captive says, to which Reacher retorts: "It's good against plaque."
—The Wall Street Journal
We mentioned in the last newsletter that there'll be more info on JACK REACHER'S RULES and here 'tis: Dos and don'ts from the big guy.

JACK REACHER'S RULES will be out in the US and CA on November 6th, and November 8th in the UK, IE, AU and NZ. But what exactly is it? "This irresistible guide to the world of the Reacher novels features timeless advice from Jack Reacher" and includes:
Rule 1. When in doubt, drink coffee.
Rule 2. Never volunteer for anything.
Rule 3. Don’t break the furniture.
Rule 4. Only one woman at a time.
Rule 5. Show them what they’re messing with.
Now I'm only guessing, but I bet there's a "Never forget to brush your teeth." rule, too—so parents, consider this a must-read for your kids.
Lee and Reacher have their own YouTube channel! There aren't many videos up yet but don't you worry, that'll change soon.
I hope you get to meet Lee while he's on the road, but if not there's always Bouchercon in Cleveland (opening ceremonies are at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, how cool is that?).
Happy Reading!
