How author Adrian McKinty went from struggling to make ends meet as an Uber driver to writing the summer's next big beach read, 'The Chain' (corrects typo)

Little, Brown’s Mulholland Books plans a splashy launch this week for the book, which will be sold in 35 countries. Paramount bought the movie rights.
