Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Compulsively readable.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Don’t pick up [this] Jack Reacher novel if you don’t have some time on your hands, because Worth Dying For is difficult to put down. . . . Child manages to get an amazing amount of suspense into the novel.”—Associated Press
There’s deadly trouble in the corn county of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can’t let go.
The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child's A Wanted Man.
“A model of suspenseful storytelling and an outstanding addition to a series that stands in the front rank of modern thrillers.”—The Washington Post
“Still the thinking man’s action hero, supreme butt-kicker and smartest guy in the room.”—The Seattle Times
“This series is about as good as pop fiction gets.”—The Miami Herald

4By SaxaclarinettLiked it.kind of a fast read some parts had to much info.Great Storytelling
5By JerrmanThe definition of a can’t put it down novel. Fast paced, pithy language and a tight plot all extremely well thought out and detailed. The location settings are as real as they can be, even if you’ve never been to that part of the Country. No wonder the Reacher series of books is so popular.Worth Dying For. Lee Child
5By Wet againJack Reacher as usual is hitchhiking, in Nebraska. He finds a room at a local hotel and then wanders into the bar for a hot cup of coffee. Sitting at the bar is the local doctor, drunk as usual. The phone rings and the bartender picks up. A local woman the wife of Seth Duncan has a nosebleed that won’t stop bleeding . Reacher persuades him to go. Her husband Seth has beaten her, the woman finally confesses to Reacher who tracks him down to a local restaurant and breaks his nose. What then ensues is the Duncan clan has now declared war on Reacher. Non stop action on every page!! My highest recommendation!! Enjoyed immensely !!Great read
5By deleonhLee Child is a good writer and his stories always seem to keep me engaged in the story and has characters I can relate to. I’ve found all the Reacher novels at our local thrift store besides the last 6 which I’ve picked up at my local Library. Very entertainingHaven’t read a bad
5By Whim1954Reacher book so far. This is in the top 5 and a great book for readers new to the series. (I read the fight sequences a few times). Even if you are a non vigilante, non fight scene aficionado you’ll appreciate Jack and Lee Child the brilliant mind behind the books.Reacher in the middle of nowhere
3By Nike AthletePer usual, this is Child doing a Reacher novel. I do not need to hear these long descriptions. Just tell me the story. Do not waste pages on what happens on each side of the Basement Door. Keep the story moving please. Did not guess what they were “shipping” and I should have. On to the next one.Worth dying for
