Jack Reacher
Jack Reacher is a fictional character created by British author Lee Child, appearing in a series of thriller novels beginning with *Killing Floor* (1997).
Reacher is a former U.S.
Army military police officer who drifts across America with no permanent address, often stumbling into situations requiring his particular skills in investigation and violence.
The character has become synonymous with a certain type of lone-wolf vigilante hero—physically imposing, morally certain, and perpetually rootless.
He's got real Jack Reacher energy—just shows up, solves the problem, and disappears.
