The Music Hall’s Writers in the Loft series welcomes novelist Lee Child with his new work, A WANTED MAN, the latest in the Jack Reacher series, on Thursday, September 13, 2012. The 7:30 pm event will be held at the Music Hall Loft located on 131 Congress Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.   (Continued below)

 

 

In addition to the Writers in the Loft stage production at 7:30 pm, that includes an author presentation, moderated Q+A, beverage, book, and a book-signing reception,  the author will personalize copies of A WANTED MAN  purchased at The Music Hall in the Loft theater from 5:30-6:30pm.

“We’re opening our doors to Lee Child fans who cannot attend the 7:30pm event but who want to get a signed book and say hello,” said executive producer Patricia Lynch. “Tickets are moving very quickly for this stage event. We expect it to sell out, and we want to make sure everyone gets the opportunity to meet this master of suspense!”

ABOUT HIS LATEST BOOK

A WANTED MAN is the 17th book in the Jack Reacher series, and picks up where Worth Dying For left off. "Reacher walked under the bridge and set up on the eastbound ramp, one foot on the shoulder and one in the traffic lane, and he stuck out his thumb and smiled and tried to look friendly." On a lonely Nebraska road, Reacher is trying to hitchhike his way out of the Midwest and hopefully east to Washington, DC. Finally, two men and a woman pick him up and they set off—but Reacher soon discovers that everyone in that car has a secret to hide and that this is no ordinary road trip. When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher and you have a badly-set, freshly-busted nose, patched with silver duct tape it isn't easy to hitch a ride. But Reacher has some unfinished business in Virginia thanks to the intriguing voice of a woman he's only met via phone, so he doesn't quit. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys. Will they get through because the three are innocent or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy?

“Before Lee Child was a well-known name, I would always recommend him to readers who wanted a good action thriller.  They always came back for more, often buying everything on the shelf.  The first book I recommended was One Shot, and I am ecstatic to talk to Mr. Child about the upcoming film version of it, starring Tom Cruise and also to get the behind-the-scenes on his newest Jack Reacher novel, A Wanted Man,” said Tom Holbrook, owner of Portsmouth’s independent River Run Bookstore, a Writers in the Loft Companion Bookstore.  Holbrook will be moderate the 7:30pm Writers in the Loft event.
