On September 9, Mysterious Press will publish Lee Child’s REACHER: THE STORIES BEHIND THE STORIES, a collection of histories that “describes the moments in which he created each Jack Reacher novel.” The book will also include a previously-unpublished story. The stories were originally published by The Mysterious Bookshop as forewords to 100-copy-run limited editions of the novels. “Taken together, these forewords read like a diary of my writing life—and my real life, too—covering where I was, what was on my mind, what I was doing, what I was thinking,” Child said. “Even I am surprised at some of it!”
