Description
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE HIT STREAMING SERIES REACHER
Jack Reacher’s spending the holidays in California. The last thing he expects is a blizzard—or a visit from the world’s deadliest assassin.
On Christmas Eve, Jack Reacher stumbles into a no-name bar in the California desert, desperate to take refuge from an unexpected snowstorm. Reacher came to Barstow for a little R&R. Instead, he’s sequestered in a dark little roadhouse with a bartender, a bewildered elderly couple—and two members of Britain’s Royal Military Police. They tell Reacher they were escorting a VIP to a top-secret meeting at a U.S. military base when they became separated from their charge. That’s when the threat came in from a notorious assassin: the Christmas Scorpion. Now they need a miracle to save the day. Or maybe all they need is Jack Reacher.
Reviews
Good short Reacher Story!
5By DWFREIDELLI warm climate in southern US is where Reacher was headed, only to be surprised by a difficult situation, which he easily remedied.A Christmas Scorpion
1By gruffeewalkerDisappointing. This was a short short story. Not a novel, as expected. And over before it started. The Sample for a new Reacher book that was included was nearly longer.Christmas coal

5By ckodomGood short story. Classic ReacherWhat a waste
1By jhobbs757For $2 I feel it should have taken longer than 5 minutes to read. No real story line , and it doesn’t portray the jack reacher that I’ve read so much of.
