Killing Floor
Lee Child, 1997
A former military cop steps off a bus into a small town just after a murder, and the local police already have their man: him.
Lee Child
Lee Child spent two decades in British television before being made redundant and writing Killing Floor, the 1997 debut that introduced Jack Reacher.
Feels like curiosity, power and dread.
The first rule of an ambush: don't ask how it happened.
Evaluate. Long experience had taught me to evaluate and assess. When the unexpected gets dumped on you, don’t waste time. Don’t figure out how or why it happened. Don’t recriminate. Don’t figure out whose fault it is. Don’t work out how to avoid the same mistake next time. All of that you do later. If you survive. Books by Lee Child
