Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER

“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

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.

Take another thrill ride with Jack Reacher.

Critic reviews

"Do yourself a favor and get hooked on this series." (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“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)

I surely hope this wasn't the end

I looked forward to the arrival of this book for a long time. I wasn't disappointed at all; hard driving Jack None Reacher puts it all on the line once again. Therefore, I will wait to see where Reacher pops-up next.

Disappointing Ending

I am a huge Jack Reacher fan and always will be. I am disappointed with Mr. Hill's decision to end the story in the manner in which he did. However, it doesn't take away from an exciting and provocative story - it just seemed a bit abrupt and hanging.

61 hours

This is one of the best Reacher stories I have read. Lots of suspense and action. Learned more about Reacher than in the other books. Dick Hill is great in his reading of this story. I was surprised by the ending and can not wait for the next book. Hope there is one!

Likable Enough

This is my first Reacher book. It's not a great book, but I liked it well enough.

Reacher is of course, superhuman, but then, many sleuths are. Like other reviewers, I figured out who the villain is a long time before the characters do. It didn't really affect my liking of the book.

The narrator does an excellent job. His voicing of the various characters distinguishes one from the other, and he has good pacing and develops tension well.

Will I read another Reacher book? Maybe not. But I'm not sorry I read this one and don't feel that I wasted a credit.

You just can't miss with Lee Child and Dick Hill

I've not only read but listened to all of the Jack Reacher Novels. Dick Hill is the best narrator ever and Child's Reacher novels are a great listen, it keeps you engaged. We all need hero's and Jack Reacher is the guy we all wish we knew. Enjoy, I highly recommend all of this series.

Worth the Listening Time!

I alway enjoy Lee Child novels and this one was no exception. Worth the credit!

Needed a military advisor

So, the author should have had a good military advisor. At one point it says that a character was busted from Major to Captain which would only be possible if it was a battlefield promotion which in the time frame this was set wouldn't have happened. Otherwise the story flows quite well and brings you along fairly well. I liked the narrator though the production should have been turned up a bit for volume.

On-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense

The countdown from 61 hours till the event throughout the book keeps the suspense constantly building. Fast paced with turns and twists throughout. There are several surprises. I would recommend this book if you like to be held on the edge of your seat.

Another Good Listen!

I am such a fan of this series and the narration by Dick Hill. This audible book was not a waste of a credit but It did leave me with the "huh" factor... thought it was predictable and the ending was weird.

Always In

Jack Reacher books are slow developing and take their time but always keep me interested..
