That’s right, the creator of Jack Reacher will be joining us this year for an all new, even more exciting Writers’ Police Academy. So make your plans now. After all, who doesn’t want to spend time with the Thriller-master himself!

Besides, where else can you go to handcuff your friends, ride on patrol with real police officers, and shoot it out with bank robbers!
