Publisher Description

A masterpiece of suspense from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child   Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia.   An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there.   All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat—to both sides at once.   In Lee Child’s white-hot thriller, nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious, keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale.   Praise for #1 bestselling author Lee Child and his Reacher series   “Child is a superb craftsman of suspense.”—Entertainment Weekly   “The truth about Reacher gets better and better.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times   “Implausible, irresistible Reacher remains just about the best butt-kicker in thriller-lit.”—Kirkus Reviews   “Like his hero Jack Reacher, Lee Child seems to make no wrong steps.”—Associated Press   “Lee Child [is] the current poster-boy of American crime fiction.”—Los Angeles Times   “Indisputably the best escape artist in this escapist genre.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times   “Jack Reacher is much more like the heir to the Op and Marlowe than Spenser ever was.”—Esquire

Quotes

  • “Subtle and nuanced [with] seductive writing and irresistible plot twists.”

    - Newsweek

  • “Lucky listeners who are unfamiliar with previous Jack Reacher adventures by Lee Child and narrator Dick Hill are in for a treat…Hill brings out the personalities of the men, who are killers, and the woman, a reluctant witness. His flawless performance builds tension as the listener wonders how Reacher will save the day. Hill gives his special twist to the characters, making them all a little edgier. A notable challenge, Reacher has a broken nose, which is reflected in his speech.”

    - AudioFile

  • “Smart, breathless…[with] one of the best female characters in the whole Reacher series.”

    - New York Times

  • “Furious action…Child keeps the pacing swift and the surprises rolling…[A] feverishly thrilling series.”

    - Miami Herald

  • “Child’s surprise-filled seventeenth Jack Reacher novel takes the ex-military policeman on a wild road ride that builds to a terrific slam-bang climax…While the erratic trip through America’s heartland doesn’t always follow a logical path, Reacher displays his acuity, patience, endurance, and military skills in the exhilarating fashion series fans have come to expect.”

    - Publishers Weekly

  • “To survive, Jack must use his wits more than ever. His statistical knowledge, analytical thinking, and insight into human behavior help him dig deep into a multilayered puzzle well before the need for an all-out physical confrontation builds to a heart-racing climax.

    " If you're a Reacher fan you will like this. Not the best but certainly not the worse. I enjoyed it. "

    " This was my first Reacher book. It took me awhile to get into it, and I kept feeling like I was missing something. Guess I should have started with book number one! I still found it exciting, once I got into it. If the older ones are better, I definitely need to go back and start at the beginning. "

    " I liked it! Toward the end I couldn't put it down! I live in Des Moines and much of the book is set in Iowa. My only complaint with the book is that it's obvious that the author did not visit Iowa as part of his research for the book. Small complaint, because the book was a fun read! "

    " Jack Reacher teams up with 2 smart women, Sorenson and Delfuenso, to defeat a terrorist banking system named Wadiah, meaning safekeeping. "

  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " This may be my last Jack Reacher book. It was boring, formulaiic and it lacked energy and action. There was too much focus on the directin of the roads, north south... Then , when the shooting started, I thought he was in a carnival it was so one sided. Against to many and, and and. Lee Child needs a better editor. He also kept using the same sayings throughout the book. "

    " As usual a quick, entertaining, completely surreal read. Jack Reacher is super man. "

    " Fairly typical of the series, which means it was an enjoyable read and kept my interest until the end. It was entertaining and kept you guessing and had some good twists and surprise deaths. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " Two stars is generous. Is Child running out of steam on the Reacher character? It certainly seems so. Boring as hell book. Reacher sits in a car much of the time, trying to work out a crime. What happened to our over-the-top man of action? "

    - Carter, 12/31/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I've read a few of Lee Child's books, and they have all been good, readable books. This is one of the books where the main character is Jack Reacher, who is a staple character for him. This book was well-written and an smooth read, so go for it if this book is your type of book. "

    - Scott, 11/28/2013

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Only one of two authors I buy in hardback, Lee Child's books are always ones I hate to put down. While this one didn't seem as fresh as others--how could it after 17?--I still enjoyed every page and regret the long wait for the next one. "

    " I was giving up on him but he's bounced right back with another cracking read. Some folks will be disappointed though, no gratuitous language, sex or violence. Very cleverly plotted & scripted - a real page turner. "

    " I'll be listening to Lee Child and thinking to myself, "How does he do it? How does he describe things in such minute detail and still manage to hold my interest?" And he did it again with this book. Setting up a situation and pulling me through it masterfully. "

    " I love Jack Reacher mysteries, usually, but this one while starting off interesting lost me half way through. There were too many characters who didn't quite fit with the story and I never could quite figure out who the bad guys really were. "

    " Poor Dick Hill forced to read Reacher with a broken nose. Would that broken nose be more explicable if I had read/listened to the previous Reacher novel? So absolutely far fetched. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " I am sorry to say that I think the Jack Reacher series has just about run its course. After a lethargic start, the action slowly picks up, but by the time I reached the end (which was a foregone conclusion) I was just ready to be done. Too bad! I really enjoyed so many of these books. "

    " I've generally enjoyed previous books in this series so this one was an unpleasant surprise. I simply couldn't believe how awful this book was and how painful it was to read. This will definitely be my last Jack Reacher novel. "
