On paper,Lee Child’sJack Reacherbooksare an incredibly unlikely success story.
30 novels, two movies, and three TV seasons later, Child’s decision clearly paid off.
Sadly,it looks like Lee Child is done making cameos in the adaptations of his work.
In the finale ofReacherseason 1, Child played a man who walks past Ritchson’s Reacher in a diner.
His absence from season 3 suggests the author might just be finished making his little Alfred Hitchcock-style cameos.
It wasn’t meant to be, unfortunately.
Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a former military police investigator, as he navigates civilian life. Without a phone and carrying minimal belongings, Reacher drifts across the country, experiencing the nation he once served, and encounters intriguing challenges along the way.
Based on Lee Child’s novel ‘Persuader,’ Season 3 finds Reacher tangled up in a DEA investigation of an import business owned by Zachary Beck. As is often the case, Reacher has a personal stake in the investigation, when he realizes someone he investigated years ago for a crime during his time in the Army has resurfaced in connection to Beck’s operation. To unravel what’s happening in Beck’s business, the DEA collaborates with Reacher and attempts to send him in undercover to help rescue another undercover DEA informant and put a stop to Beck’s business practices.
