Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Reacher gets better and better. . . . [This is the] craftiest and most highly evolved of Lee Child’s electrifying Reacher books.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“Child is a superb craftsman of suspense, juggling several plots and keeping his herrings well-rouged. . . . Chances are you’ll want to seek out other Reacher adventures the moment you finish.”—Entertainment Weekly
A 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 he’ll risk his life to save.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child's A Wanted Man.
“Masterful . . . a tour-de-force of both structure and suspense.”—The Providence Journal
“Child keeps his foot hard on the throttle. . . . This is Child in top form, but isn’t he always?”—Booklist (starred review)
“Compulsively addictive [with] an explosive climax that will have you tearing out your hair until Reacher’s next appearance.”—The Miami Herald
Reviews
Don’t waste your time.
2By Daver1965Rambling and un-believable.A real Reach
2By CareerMovesBent cop was obvious. Why not let the plane full of bad guys crash rather than land? A 737 “turns around” on a snow-banked runway despite its wingspan and 80-foot turning radius? Reacher escapes into 30-below temperatures with no coat?Need my Reacher fix
5By NikeAirManI had just finished all 3 seasons of Reacher and wanted to explore more of these stories so I jumped in with 61 hours and was not disappointed. It’s very cool to be able to read what Reacher is thinking since that isn’t really possible in the tv show. Already purchased and reading the next book. 10/10 recommend this one.worth dying for

5By JasperjetsonI thought I had read all of the Reacher books but missed this one. Glad I corrected my error.Great read
5By TNT 43094Another great Reacher book.Another great one
5By Jeffn66These stories keep stunning me. Each one is better than the one previous which knocks me out because I’m thinking there’s no chance 61 Hours can be better than Gone Tomorrow but it is. I don’t know how he comes up with this stuff but please don’t stop.61 HOURS
5By TheBat59An enjoyable read!Good until the ending
3By popeye#Ending was disappointing. To burn the fortune to kill one guy? Lame.Great read
5By Marc6983I’m not sure why so many negative reviews. True Reacher fans know how the endings will be. It might directly say it, but without spoiling it, we know. Because we know the next book will come out and continue the never ending journey. Some didn’t understand the countdown. Don’t give a bad review because YOU don’t understand lol you have to pay attention. Details in the Reacher books are make this series great. We know there will be loose ends, that’s why we wait for the next book to see if Lee will tie them up!61 Hours
1By Babybehr1991Strange story and a very poor ending! What happened to Reacher?61 Hours
4By barry CureAnother fun and well written Jack Reacher story.61 Hours
5By NorvalmGreat story in many ways. I couldn't put it down. Two problems. First, I still don't know what the count-down of hours was measuring and secondly, we were left not knowing what happened to Reacher in the end!Very disappointed
3By Rain4444Such a disappointing ending after so much buildup. Also, too much of the middle part was description after description of all and sundry.
