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). Certains titres ne sont pas encore traduits en français.
