If you love Jack Reacher, this will be the event of the year for you!
Lee Child, creator of Jack Reacher, is coming to The Beacon. In one of only four UK events this autumn, Lee and his brother Andrew, with whom he now collaborates, will be in conversation with Rebecca Fletcher at 7pm on Thursday 22nd October, 2026.
If you love thrillers, an evening doesn’t get much better than this! Lee and his brother Andrew have been writing the Jack Reacher thriller series collaboratively for the last seven years, Chain Reaction is their best yet and their fellow writers agree…
‘A piece of pure thriller-writing gold. Chain Reaction demonstrates why the extraordinary
Reacher franchise is as popular and enduring as it is.’
LISA JEWELL
‘Everything I love about Jack Reacher. Taut, tense, unputdownable. From solar farms to
Silicon Valley. Hits like a hammer blow, just like Reacher himself.’
LAURA SHEPHERD-ROBINSON
Jack Reacher is hard to find. It’s not easy to track him down. And he likes it that way.
But General Susan Turner, based deep inside the Pentagon, has the means and the motive.
She needs his help. A member of her team has been brutally murdered on covert duty. She can’t
trust anyone she works with, not even her deputy. She needs someone from the outside. Someone who solves problems and disappears without a trace.
Reacher heads to Summertown, Colorado. A town as remote and bizarre as it gets. One diner,
one motel, five massive data centres, two giant solar farms humming away in the dust. Total
population: four people. And one of them is watching him.
But Reacher isn’t built to run. He’s built to finish things.
General Turner knows: if they come for him, they’ll regret it – all the way to the top of the chain.
‘The coolest continuing series character’
STEPHEN KING
‘There’s only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes’
MICK HERRON
‘Everyone’s favourite rebel hero’
