'A high-testosterone adventure . . . a page turner. Thrilling.' Observer
From Hope to Despair.
Between two small towns in Colorado, nothing but twelve miles of empty road.
All Jack Reacher wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four redneck deputies, a vagrancy charge and a trip back to the line.
But Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape.
No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity.
What are the secrets the locals seem so determined to hide?

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
An unusually political novel, this is as gripping and readable as any in the Reacher series - The Times
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
This haunting, stand-alone novel is a subtler work than Child's previous output and offers a sensitively handled romantic sub-plot to boot - Daily Telegraph
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
just sit back and enjoy does what it says on the tin
One of the best books I have read - my tocal waterstones book shop recommended Lee Child to me last year and I have enjoyed all that I have read so far - I read this latest book in 24 hours I just couldn't put it... More
