Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The inspiration for season four of the hit streaming series Reacher!

“High-powered, intricately wrought suspense.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack.

Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan—by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.

“Propulsive . . . [Child is] an expert at ratcheting up tension.”—Los Angeles Times

“Hold on tight. . . . This novel will give you whiplash as you rabidly turn pages. . . . May be [Lee Child’s] best.”—USA Today

About Lee Child

English Author Jim Grant (Pen Name) “Lee Child”, was born in 1954 in Coventry, England UK. His most notable writings are the Jack Reacher series novels. Beginning with his first novel, Killing Floor, each of his work follows a former American military policeman, Jack Reacher who wanders throughout the United States.

Grant (Child) studied law at the University of Sheffield, but knew he had no intention of practicing law. After graduating, he worked in commercial television. He worked in that venue until 1995. A fun fact is that he chose Reacher for his main characters name, because he himself is tall and his wife once said, “If this “writing thing” does not work out, you could always be a Reacher in a supermarket.” Grant (Child) describes his books as revenge stories-“somebody does a very bad thing, and Reacher takes revenge.” In 2012, his novel “One Shot”, was adapted into a film called “Jack Reacher”, starring Tom Cruise.

Reviews

Goodreads review by James on March 09, 2021

This is among the best of the Jack Reacher novels, and it opens with Reacher riding in a New York City subway car late at night. There are only a few other people in the car, including a middle-aged woman. At this time of night, most other people would be half asleep or at least minding their own bu......more

Goodreads review by Adam on January 04, 2012

You know that game you can play where "The Karate Kid" becomes a lot funnier if you just imagine that Mr. Miyagi is stoned the whole time? You don't? Well, now you do. Anyway, I've devised my own little game, and I play it every time I read a Lee Child thriller. I imagine that his hero, Jack Reacher,......more

Goodreads review by Linda on May 06, 2021

Jack Reacher finds himself in the midst of an event in Manhattan which leads him into a series of interconnected plots. Lee Child skillfully introduces the elements of the story which, at times, seems to be leading nowhere. Reacher's instincts and integrity lead him to the truth, and he sorts out th......more

Goodreads review by Suz on March 07, 2023

Reacher, as always is in fine form. I love Jeff Harding’s narration and am yet to pick up a physical book from this series. This instalment starts with Reacher happening upon a female would be suicide bomber. I learned a lot from his observations of this woman on the subway in New York at 2am. This b......more

“A superb New York novel . . . Child grounds his hero’s hard body and hard-drive brain in believable detail, and he sets the action against a precisely described landscape.”—Booklist (starred review)
“All good thriller writers know how to build suspense and keep the pages turning, but only better ones deliver tight plots as well, and only the best allow the reader to match wits with both the hero and the author. Bestseller Child does all of that in spades. . . . [He] sets things up subtly and ingeniously, then lets Reacher use both strength and guile to find his way to the exciting climax.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
