Né en 1954 en Angleterre, Lee Child, auteur de romans policiers vendus et connus dans le monde entier, vit et écrit aujourd'hui à New-York. Après des études de droit, il intègre une société de télévision à Manchester et y travaille pendant 18 ans. La restructuration de cette société va entraîner son licenciement ; loin de se laisser abattre, Lee Child, alors âgé de 40 ans, décide de se consacrer à sa passion : l'écriture. C'est le début des aventures de Jack Reader, ancien officier de police au caractère bien trempé, que l'on retrouve au fil d'une quinzaine d'ouvrages, parmi lesquels : "Du fond de l'abîme" (1997), "Les caves de la Maison Blanche" ( 2001), "Pas droit à l'erreur" (2004), "Liste mortelle" (2007), "La faute à pas de chance" (2010) ou "Elle savait" (2012).

Résumé
Reacher goes where he wants, when he wants. That morning he was heading west, walking under the merciless desert sun—until he comes upon a curious scene. A Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. A woman is slumped over the wheel. The woman is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent trying to find her twin brother, who might be mixed up with some dangerous people. The mysterious Dendoncker rules from the shadows, out of sight and under the radar, keeping his dealings in the dark.
Reacher is good at finding people who don't want to be found. And a life hangs in the balance. Maybe more than one. But to bring Dendoncker down will be the riskiest job of Reacher's life. Failure is not an option, because in this kind of game the loser is always better off dead.
