Christopher Reich gave up a career in finance to become the bestselling author of spy thrillers
You could say former stockbroker-turned-spy-thriller author Christopher Reich knows how to make a killing. Since leaving a successful career in finance, the Encinitas-based author has penned 15 novels and is no stranger to the New York Times bestseller list. His newest book, “Matterhorn,” hit store shelves April 1. In a recent interview, Reich spoke about his newest novel, some of his past work and his writing process.
My father, Willy Reich, was from Zurich and emigrated to the States in 1956. After earning my degree, I worked in Zurich and Neuchatel — first in banking, then in the watch industry — for eight years. Nearly every weekend, I’d take the train into the Alps to hike or to try my skills on some of the lesser peaks. More specifically, I’ve always been fascinated by the Matterhorn. It is the most iconic, most recognizable peak in the world. I visited Zermatt for the first time when I was a teenager.
