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.

Another great Jack Reacher story
All Reacher books are great…
Lee Child has created a memorable character Jack Reacher. I love it when the good guy wins.
A great book
Typical Reacher book, great read, hard to put down. Great characters.
Another good read from Lee Child.
Excellent anti-hero hero. Love these books. Fun and easy to read. Easy to admire this character, A Sherlock Holmesian character who always finds the criminal. This book is as great as the others in his series. Can’t wait to read the next one.
Powerful. Best Reacher so far. Nice to have team mates for him in this one. Gives a bit of background…
You can never go wrong with a Reacher book. But some are better than others.. Bad Luck and Troubles is one of his absolute best for non-stop action, great characters and “can’t being non- downable!” Shows Reacher at his best as a “take no prisoners” hard azz. I don’t go into plots, but it’s great to Neagley and others again…
Jack Reacher is always a good read!
Typical Jack Reacher books, this was very good.
Another really good jack reacher story!!
Another page turner with Jack Reacher controlling the narrative.
Typical Jack Reacher book…I always like them..
Pretty typical Jack Reacher fare. Brawls, gun rights and fisticuffs abound.
Lee Child is one of my favorite authors and i have read every book in the Jack Reacher Series. This book has some disturbingly violent scenes but a very Jack Reacher like ending.
LOVE all of Lee Child’s books and this one is no exception. He has an awesome character in Reacher and is such a great story teller. Child really brings Reacher to life.
I was recently turned on to Lee Child by a friend who is an avid reader. I was skeptical about reading a “series,” but I’ve been pleasantly surprised from the start. I began with “Die Trying” and am currently on my fourth Reacher novel. I’d like to say that it’s my guilty pleasure, but the truth is there is nothing about this author’s writing style that gives the reader anything to be ashamed of. Jack Reacher is a believable action-hero; self-contained, relying solely on his wits and skills that have been honed to perfection over the course of his life. I love how with each new story, we pick up Jack with the shirt on his back and maybe a few dollars to his name. The character is quirky but completely believable; the plots are dynamic and full of surprises; and I’ve never found myself bored with Jack or the trouble that he can’t seem to steer clear of. After the first book, I made myself switch genres so that I wouldn’t get become a Lee Child junkie, but I find myself hankering for another Reacher novel. They are so entertaining, stimulating and satisfying. I’m glad it took me so long to discover this writer, for now I have plenty of unread books to look forward to. But I must say, I find it hard to imagine them being any better than “Bad Luck and Trouble.” It is definitely my favorite so far.
Love the entire jack reacher series
I love all the Jack Reacher books.
