Top action hero Jack Reacher is back, in a new chilling, deadly adventure.
Lee Child is one of the world's leading thriller writers. He was born in Coventry, raised in Birmingham, and now lives in England's Lake District. It is said one of his novels featuring his hero Jack Reacher is sold somewhere in the world every nine seconds. His books consistently achieve the number-one slot on bestseller lists around the world and have sold over one hundred million copies. Lee is the recipient of many awards including Author of the Year at the 2019 British Book Awards. He was appointed CBE in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours.
Marks a real departure for Lee Child, who homes in on two hot
issues (US military veterans with mental or physical scars, and a
related social plague currently in the news) ...Alongside this
topicality is a poignancy that was lacking in earlier books.
*Sunday Times Thriller of the Year*
Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap
it up. Love it...Best one for a while...there is something
subversive as well as page-turning...The sentences are short, but
that doesn't mean the thinking is small....I don't know another
author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the
thick of it all.
*The Times*
I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child….It is as good
as they always are. I read every single one.
*Malcolm Gladwell*
Addictive...Child's trademark staccato-style delivers all-action
excitement as well as a sombre message about the hypocrisy of the
US war on drugs.
*Metro*
An eccentric but winning blend of the serious and the playful, this
modern western resembles a collaboration between the Coen brothers
and Karl Ove Knausgaard.
*Sunday TImes*
The one that breaks your heart...Reacher has a reputation to live
up to: drifter, loner, knuckles the size of walnuts, etc...[ yet
has] more emotional heft than anything Child has written
before.
*New York Times*
A timely, affecting, suspenseful and morally complex thriller. In
fact, it’s one of the best thrillers I’ve read this year.
*Washington Post*
Lee Child is showing no sign of flagging with this latest
outing....You'll read this one in a single evening.
*Sunday Business Post*
A contemporary version of the knight in shining armour: to Lee
Child's many readers, Reacher is a mythic figure.
*Literary Review*
Lee Child is the master of plotting...full of action and
adventure.. This is Child's most emotional book to date. There are
issues concerning family loyalty,wounded veterans, disfigurement,
the opioid explosion, and the habits of drug dealers...This is not
just a good story; it is a story with a purpose and a message.
