Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
“Compulsively readable.”—The Wall Street Journal
 
“Don’t pick up [this] Jack Reacher novel if you don’t have some time on your hands, because Worth Dying For is difficult to put down. . . . Child manages to get an amazing amount of suspense into the novel.”—Associated Press
 
There’s deadly trouble in the corn county of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can’t let go.
 
The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child's A Wanted Man.
 
“A model of suspenseful storytelling and an outstanding addition to a series that stands in the front rank of modern thrillers.”—The Washington Post
 
“Still the thinking man’s action hero, supreme butt-kicker and smartest guy in the room.”—The Seattle Times
 
“This series is about as good as pop fiction gets.”—The Miami Herald

    Reacher book so far. This is in the top 5 and a great book for readers new to the series. (I read the fight sequences a few times). Even if you are a non vigilante, non fight scene aficionado you’ll appreciate Jack and Lee Child the brilliant mind behind the books.

    Per usual, this is Child doing a Reacher novel. I do not need to hear these long descriptions. Just tell me the story. Do not waste pages on what happens on each side of the Basement Door. Keep the story moving please. Did not guess what they were “shipping” and I should have. On to the next one.

    This one was a quick read of classic vigilante justice. Reacher enlisted the help of past “victims” mete out the punishment.
  • Not a page turner but still a good book
