Publisher Description

Jack Reacher is back.   The countdown has begun. Get ready for the most exciting 61 hours of your life. #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child’s latest thriller is a ticking time bomb of suspense that builds electric tension on every page.   Sixty-one hours. Not a minute to spare. A tour bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces. If she’s going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. Because a killer is coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses. Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving. But the next 61 hours will change everything. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could have guessed—but so is the woman whose life he’ll risk his own to save.   In 61 Hours, Lee Child has written a showdown thriller with an explosive ending that readers will talk about for a long time to come.

"This is my first read by Lee Child and I thoroughly enjoyed it. His main character is a retired army colonel named Reacher. He is a drifter wno ends up in a small town in South Dakota in the winter, when a bus he is riding goes off the road. He then becomes entangled in a drug case and several murders, which he solves in 61 hours. I am noe reading my second Reacher novel. A great fast moving read."

    " Another fun adventure with Jack Reacher... This one felt a little forced - like the local police are really going to open up to a stranger and respect his opinion as much as they did. But I was really proud of myself for seeing one of the plot twists before it happened. Not long before it happened, but still! "
