Publisher Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher



“A veritable tour de force . . . brilliantly executed and deliciously plotted.”—The Washington Times


Everything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997.

Reacher is ordered undercover to investigate the murder of a young woman. Evidence points to a U.S. soldier with powerful friends. Once in Carter Crossing, Reacher meets local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux, who has a thirst for justice and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain they can trust each other, they reluctantly join forces. Reacher works to uncover the truth, while others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to shatter his faith in his mission— and turn him into a man to be feared.

"Like the previous books when the author goes back in the life of Reacher I enjoy the story a lot more... especially this one because it finally gives you the story of how and why he got out... and personally I finally got my answer about how he got the toothbrush and why he does not uses toothpaste. The actual story line was interesting also... although it could've use a few more surprises... but overall I enjoyed the book a lot."

    " Lee Child never disappoints. This one was particularly fun because you get to go back in time and see Reacher when he is still in the Army. I also enjoyed the short story included in this edition, which gives you a glimpse of Reacher as a child. "

    " I thought this was a nice step back in time in Reacher land, with some of the nice ties to previous/later books. It seemed to be before he became a crazy killing machine, but still, chock full of violence. I guess I'm considering the criticism I've read before that there is no way that some of these things would be possible in a new light; did I know the answer before it was laid out in front of me? Nope. Could I imagine, in my wildest dreams, the thread which Reacher would unravel to confirm his suspicions? No. But the story, and the ending, were pretty much what I expected. So in that sense, a good yarn, with just the right amount on the spool to keep me interested. Good times. "
