Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity. What is the secret the locals seem so keen to hide?A hard man is good to find. Ex-military cop Reacher is today's most addictive hero.

Editorial Reviews

"A cert to be a number one bestseller.....A version of western, of course: the drifter who comes to town, sorts out the bad guys, and moves on. ..He makes what he does seem simple. If it is, though, it's strange that nobody else has managed it so well." - David Sexton, Evening Standard

"Follows in the great Philip Marlowe pulp tradition,nuanced with a dash of Rambo and Bruce Willis...Reacher is a moody, modern outsider figure, one of the great antiheroes...a liberal intellectual with machismo, and arms the size of Popeye's." - Independent

"Classic Child...brilliantly paced ... his tough-but-fair creation, Jack Reacher, both a man's man and a ladies' man, proves once again that he's also his own man. And no one is going to get in his way." - Mirror

"Slots a series of bone-crunching brawls into a surprisingly sinuous and zeitgeisty plot...delivers emotional depth, and Reacher's bare-knuckle sleuthing certainly keeps the adrenalin up." - Financial Times

"A high-testosterone adventure with a thoughtful nod to what is going on in Iraq...a page turner. Thrilling." - Observer

"Reacher fans will love it - it's all storming compounds, breaking hearts and not bothering to take names, taking justice into his own hands and to hell with the wos'name. ..a solid inter-Bond-film substitute." - Maxim

"Child has perfected Reacher's controlled, spare tone...as always, there's lots of bonecrunching and nose-smashing, yet the violence never feels gratuitous." - Time Out

"An unusually political novel, this is as gripping and readable as any in the Reacher series." - The Times

"It's a testament to Lee Child's superb story-telling skills that...the interest doesn't flag for an instant...Like Reacher, Child doesn't do things by halves." - Yorkshire Evening Post

"Gripping and addictive...Reacher's stripped-down life is echoed by Lee Child's lean and spare prose." - Irish Independent
