on IYM's MIND: Killing Floor

Lee Child is the pen name of British thriller writer Jim Grant.. His first novel, Killing Floor, won the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. Each of Child's novels follows the adventures of a former American Military Policeman named Jack Reacher who is wandering the United States.

In Killing Floor, welcome to Margrave, Georgia—but don't get too attached to the townsfolk, who are either in on a giant conspiracy, or hurtling toward violent deaths, or both.
