Night School

More about the book

Discover the thriller series that The New York Times calls "utterly addictive." After eleven global #1 bestsellers, Lee Child brings readers back to school with the most explosive Jack Reacher novel yet. Set in 1996, Reacher is still in the army. He receives a medal in the morning, only to be sent back to school in the afternoon. That night, he goes off the grid. In the classroom with him are an FBI agent and a CIA analyst, both top operators fresh off significant victories, questioning their presence there. They soon learn about a Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, which has received a Saudi courier seeking refuge while waiting to meet unknown associates. A CIA asset undercover in the cell has overheard the courier's chilling message: "The American wants a hundred million dollars." Reacher and his companions are tasked with finding this American. He recruits Sergeant Frances Neagley, the best soldier he's ever worked with. Their mission intensifies, with the stakes high: failure could lead to an epic act of terrorism. From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, the story unfolds through a treacherous landscape of double crosses and new enemies, as Reacher navigates the game and operates outside the law.
