Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“The indomitable Reacher burns up the pages.”—USA Today
Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, another telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And a hitchhiker with a broken nose. An hour behind them, the FBI descends on an old pumping station where a man was stabbed to death—the knife work professional, the killers nowhere to be seen.
All Jack 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, in which nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth.
“Furious action . . . [Lee] Child keeps the pacing swift and the surprises rolling. . . . [A] feverishly thrilling series.”—The Miami Herald
“Smart, breathless . . . [with] one of the best female characters in the whole Reacher series.”—The New York Times
“Subtle and nuanced [with] seductive writing and irresistible plot twists.”—Newsweek
Don’t miss Lee Child’s short story “Deep Down” and a sneak peek of his new novel, Never Go Back, in the back of the book.
Reviews
Absolutely Worthless
1By Nike AthleteDo not read. Unless you are need to know what happens in the Reacher series from one book to the next. 100 pages of nothing. Way too descriptive. Reacher is in the Third Person. Child, how did you honestly accept a paycheck for this “work?”A Wanted Man
3By Richcola1452Interesting story line but way too much time taken up by meaningless details. Book could have been 100 pages shorter. That’s about how many pages I skipped over and missed nothing of the story.Lee Child - Jack Reacher - A Wanted Man
5By Old CoquiLee Child’s writing style provides fabulously detailed descriptions of locations, events, thought processes and many additional areas in a manner that make his novels a fantastic read. You, the reader, become so immersed in the storyline that you are no longer a reader, you’re attempting to anticipate the next occurrence - you become a character in the storyline! Thank you, Lee Child, for another fabulous read!!!GOOD, but spent know guns
