I have also very recently discovered Lee Child. Jack Reacher is a terrific character. Unfortunately, I have read all the books in the series and feel impatient about the next one coming out (just as with the Patrick O’Brian series).
Have you ever read any of the Donald Westlake “Parker” books (written under the name Richard Stark). Parker is a great anti-hero without being the typical Anti-American Anti-hero.

I was surprised to find out Lee Child is from England.

Thanks! I’ll add a Westlake/Stark to my library list as well. :)

I added, ‘Nobody Runs Forever’ as a starting point. How’s that?
