About this ebook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER

“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

As always, Lee Child writes a page-turner. However, as this unfolds, it is a mishmash of improbable plot, contrived story line twists, and plain old nonsense. I felt cheated and abused at the end.

I've been waiting for the latest in the series, having read the rest. It took me a day and a half to finish it. The plot keep me turning the pages. Reacher's beatdowns of foes are less frequent than in some other books, but this is still the real deal.

The book was ok. Definitely not my favorite Reacher novel. Normally the action is woven throughout the book, but it didn't start in this one until 30 pages before the book was over. Also, very anti-climactic.
