Lee and Andrew Child for 'Exit Strategy'

This November, two titans of thriller writing join us for an exclusive Scottish event. For one night in Edinburgh, Andrew Child will be joined by his brother Lee, the man who started it all, to celebrate the latest rip-roaring instalment in the world of Jack Reacher. Lee Child doesn't often join Andrew on tour, so this is one night in the calendar you definitely won't want to miss!

Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for.

First - a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can't deal with. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks his pocket. There's no problem. Nothing is missing.

Second - a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.

Third - wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .
