On the day that Chain Reaction is published, join us for an evening with Lee Child and his brother Andrew, as they talk about their seventh universally acclaimed collaboration. It is said that somewhere in the world a Jack Reacher novel is sold every nine seconds, and this is the 31st Jack Reacher thriller, described by Lisa Jewell as ‘a piece of pure thriller-writing gold’.

To quote James Patterson, 'Two Childs are even better than one’, and this is a fantastic opportunity to hear them both in our own home city. Don’t miss it!

‘The coolest continuing series character’ Stephen King, author

‘There’s only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes’ Mick Heron, author
