Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
“Reacher gets better and better. . . . [This is the] craftiest and most highly evolved of Lee Child’s electrifying Reacher books.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
 
“Child is a superb craftsman of suspense, juggling several plots and keeping his herrings well-rouged. . . . Chances are you’ll want to seek out other Reacher adventures the moment you finish.”—Entertainment Weekly
 
A bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces. If she’s going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. Because a killer is coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses.
 
Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving. But the next 61 hours will change everything. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could have guessed—but so is the woman he’ll risk his life to save.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child's A Wanted Man.
 
“Masterful . . . a tour-de-force of both structure and suspense.”—The Providence Journal
 
“Child keeps his foot hard on the throttle. . . . This is Child in top form, but isn’t he always?”—Booklist (starred review)
 
“Compulsively addictive [with] an explosive climax that will have you tearing out your hair until Reacher’s next appearance.”—The Miami Herald

  • A real Reach

    Bent cop was obvious. Why not let the plane full of bad guys crash rather than land? A 737 “turns around” on a snow-banked runway despite its wingspan and 80-foot turning radius? Reacher escapes into 30-below temperatures with no coat?

    I had just finished all 3 seasons of Reacher and wanted to explore more of these stories so I jumped in with 61 hours and was not disappointed. It’s very cool to be able to read what Reacher is thinking since that isn’t really possible in the tv show. Already purchased and reading the next book. 10/10 recommend this one.

    Unfortunately this book was hard to follow and poorly written. I made it through four chapters and put it down.
