Andy Martin shadowed Lee Child like a literary private eye in a yearlong investigation of what it takes to make Reacher hit the page running. The result is an up-close-and-personal look into the world and ways of an expert storyteller’s creative process as he undertakes the writing of the much anticipated 20th Reacher novel, Make Me.

Lee Child has won the Premio RBA de Novela Negra Award for "Personal". The awards committee reviewed 244 manuscripts, mostly from Spain and Latin America, but also from the United States, Britain, Canada, Taiwan, New Zealand and France. Previous winners include Francisco González Ledesma, Andrea Camilleri, Philip Kerr, Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, Arnaldur Indridason and Michael Connelly.

Presentation of the award took place at the headquarters of RBA in Barcelona. Lee was unable to attend, because of promotion commitments in the US, but a spokesperson expressed his gratitude in these words: "Thank you very much for this award. I am honored and delighted to accept it. And that’s all I can say in Spanish, so now I must continue in English. I am especially happy to be recognized here, because Spain has a special place in the Reacher story. I was on vacation here for a week, and when I got home to the UK I found I had lost my job. So I unpacked my suitcase and sat down to write my first Reacher book. So it’s true to say the initial energy in that book came from Spanish food, wine, and sunshine."

The Crime Writers’ Association awarded Lee with the 2013 Diamond Dagger on July 15, 2013.

The Diamond Dagger is voted for by members of the CWA and celebrates an author with an outstanding body of work in crime fiction. Past winners include Frederick Forsyth, Val McDermid, Ian Rankin, Lawrence Block and Elmore Leonard.

Chair of the CWA Peter James said: “I am delighted that the CWA has chosen Lee Child as this year’s recipient. Lee is one of the few British crime thriller authors to have become a global brand name; he is also an extremely charming and open person and a tireless promoter of our genre.”
