THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER NOW A RICHARD & JUDY BOOKCLUB 2018 PICK Jack Reacher is having a bad day. It would be a dumb idea to make it worse. Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it. All he wants is to find the woman. He'll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle. If she's ok, he'll walk away. If she's not a he'll stop at nothing. Best advice- stay out of his way.
Jack Reacher walks alone. Once a go-to hard man in the US military police, now he's a drifter of no fixed abode. But the army tracks him down. Because someone has taken a long-range shot at the French president. Only one man could have done it. And Reacher is the one man who can find him. This new heartstopping, nailbiting book in Lee Child's number-one bestselling series takes Reacher across the Atlantic to Paris - and then to London. The stakes have never been higher - because this time, it's personal.
Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had. Reacher is there to meet-- in person-- the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. But it isn't Turner behind the CO's desk. And Reacher is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal consequences, and one too personal to even think about. When threatened, you can run or fight. Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his name, barely a step ahead of the army, the FBI, the D.C. Metro police, and four unidentified thugs.
When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly set, freshly busted nose - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. At last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. Within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and there's a police roadblock ahead. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys ... Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy? 'He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town' Sun

Jack Reacher is even intrigerend als onderhoudend, even spannend als verslavend. Mannen willen hem zijn en vrouwen willen hem hebben. Reacher is op weg naar Langley, naar het hoofdkwartier van de CIA. Zijn oude afdeling daar heeft een nieuwe leider. Ze heet Susan en hij wil haar ontmoeten. Onderweg door Nebraska struikelt Reacher echter over een lokaal drama: een familie met een transportbedrijf houdt de omwonende boerengezinnen in een stalen greep van angst.

Jack Reacher, de loner zonder baan, zonder paspoort en zonder adres, wordt benaderd door de aantrekkelijke M.I. Froelich - roepnaam Froelich. Froelich is sinds kort hoofd van de Secret Service. En ze heeft een probleem: iemand dreigt de Amerikaanse vice-president te vermoorden. Reacher biedt aan haar te helpen en treedt vervolgens toe tot de Secret Service, waar hij behoorlijk uit de toon valt. Instinctief verzet hij zich tegen de bureaucratie en de vooroordelen die er gemeengoed zijn. Reachers boerenslimheid, ruwe charme en eigengereidheid passen helemaal niet bij de starre organisatie. Maar tegen een sluipmoordenaar zonder gezicht komen deze eigenschappen buitengewoon goed van pas... 'In feite doet hij precies waar iedereen wel eens van droomt.' Auteur Lee Child over zijn held Jack Reacher

Chicago. Tijdens een doelloze wandeling ontmoet Jack Reacher een aantrekkelijke manke jonge vrouw die worstelt met een kruk en een pakket van de stomerij. Reacher helpt een handje, maar als ze zich omdraaien kijken ze recht in de loop van twee revolvers.

Holly heeft lef, ze is sterk, maar de doorgewinterde Reacher voelt dat er meer achter steekt.
"Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cook have a lot in common.

Only Jack Reacher can discover their killer."--Publisher's description.
It wasn't the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see ... where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later ... where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops --the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded--waits and watches ... where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return. Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair--against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him--and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that's killing Americans by the thousand
