That’s why he’s like Holmes, according to Child.
It was always about balancing brains and brawn.
Holmes could throw a punch.
But both of them win by being three steps ahead.
So could Jack Reacher have the staying power of Sherlock Holmes, whos been solving crimes since the 1800s?
I mean thats hard to say, Child admitted.

He’s a street fighter.
He is not just a brain.
