By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. He went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director during British TV's \"golden age.\" During his tenure his company made \u003ci\u003eBrideshead Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Jewel in the Crown\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePrime Suspect\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCracker\u003c\/i\u003e. But he was fired in 1995 at the age of forty as a result of corporate restructuring. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an opportunity where others might have seen a crisis and bought six dollars' worth of paper and pencils and sat down to write a book, \u003ci\u003eKilling Floor\u003c\/i\u003e, the first in the Jack Reacher series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mysterious Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49467539751149,"sku":"9781613167144","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_7d4c98d9-364c-4fc3-ac98-2a390d7c6a5b.jpg?v=1772815149","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/safe-enough-and-other-stories-9781613167144","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
