Christopher Reich is a Swiss American author that writes legal thrillers and crime fiction. He was born in 1961 in Tokyo. His father (Willy Wolfgang Reich) was a Swiss man running a Japanese travel agency. The family left Japan for the US in 1965.

The author’s education includes stints at Carl Curtis School and Harvard-Westlake. For the most part, high school was more impactful to Reich’s life than college. First of all, the author had terrific teachers that shaped his life.

Secondly, Reich remembers taking a trip to a camp on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro during his high school years. The notion of visiting Kenya and sleeping in the wild excited the author.

The students started each day by running a mile, swimming in a frigid pool, and then doing their chores. But Reich still thinks fondly of those days. He remembers one particular student, a fellow from Detroit with massive muscles.

The kid in question was a bully who took great pleasure in harassing his peers. Everything changed when someone tied a smelly sock to a string and threw it at the kid while he slept. The bully, who was extremely rat-phobic, was so scared he cried.

The incident made a new man out of him. From that point onward, he presented a friendly demeanor, offering a helping hand whenever the need arose.

When their time at the camp ended, they capped the trip off by climbing Mt. Kenya. The author’s adult years were not quite as magical. Once his time at Havard school came to a close, he joined the School of Foreign Service.

The next four years were incredible, allowing the author to engage the likes of Arthur Burns (Retired Fed Chief), not to mention working on Ted Kennedy’s campaign. When he graduated from Georgetown University, Reich became a stockbroker, a career choice that ultimately ushered him into the publishing field.

A client told the author he needed to attend business school because he knew next to nothing about stocks and bonds. The author took the advice to heart, went back to school, graduated, and then marched out into the world, determined to milk as much money out of Wall Street as possible.

But then the author flew to New York, bought a new suit, and walked into an interview. The fellow he spoke to told Reich that he wouldn’t get the job because of his lackluster Georgetown grades.

Reich, who was thoroughly deflated by the rejection, settled for a job at the Union Bank of Switzerland that offered a smaller salary, unaware that ‘Numbered Account,’ his first novel, was waiting around the corner.
