From a helicopter high above the empty California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night…. In Chicago, a woman learns that an elite team of ex–army investigators is being hunted down one by one…. And on the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher—soldier, cop, hero—is pulled out of his wandering life by a code that few other people could understand. From the first shocking scenes in … Lee Child’s explosive new novel, Jack Reacher is plunged like a knife into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends…and is on its way to something even worse.
A decade postmilitary, Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on his back—no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a woman from his old unit has done the impossible. From Chicago, Frances Neagley finds Reacher, using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying story—about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his old team, scrambling to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a mystery that is growing darker by the day. The deeper they dig, the more they don’ t know: about two other comrades who have suddenly gone missing—and a trail that leads into the neon of Vegas and the darkness of international terrorism.
For now, Reacher can only react. To every sound. Every suspicion. Every scent and every moment. Then Reacher will trust the people he once trusted with his life—and take this thing all the way to the end. Because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they’d better be ready for what comes right back at them…
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child’s Blue Moon.

I enjoyed this Jack Reacher book. Full of intrigue, action packed. Good characters. Hard to out down once you start.
I love all of his books!
My favorite Reacher! He works with his old MP team and teamwork has not been his style through the series. Very entertaining book.
Good read. Enjoyed.
As with all Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books, this book doesn’t disappoint!! I read each one in order and loved every one.
One of the best Jack Reacher stories.
I love all the Jack Reacher books
Lee Child at his best! This was a fantastic book (as all his books are) but what a twisty plot! Loved it!
Always fun to read.
A bit slower than most Reacher books but still worth reading.
Read Aug. 2013
It was so hard for me to put down, definitely a page turner.
My favourite author!
Escapism doesn’t get any better than the mythical Jack Reacher!
Classic Reacher
Child certainly has a style that draws you in. It was interesting to see his interaction with other characters with whom he holds in high, if not equal regard, as opposed to his usual stance. Not necessarily my fave book – just my taste, you see – but certainly a solid Child book.
Another great Reacher action story.
Jack Reacher stories are very addictive. Good characters, story and plot. Something that I like and when one is finished I want more.
Great read. Typical Reacher, less blood and violence for the first 250 pages, but still action packed. Filling in the “back story” on Reacher ‘s military history helped with understanding some comments in precluded books, probably read out of sequence. I really liked it, and found it hard to put down.
I love the Jack Reacher series. This is a highly entertaining book, hard to put down.
