Publisher's summary

Across the country women are being murdered by a killer who leaves no evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to a motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, the only thing that links the victims is the man they all knew: Jack Reacher.

©2005 Lee Child (P)2012 Peunguin Audio

Critic reviews

“Reacher is one of the more interesting suspense heroes to come along in a while.” (San Antonio Express News)

“Jack Reacher, the wandering folk hero of Child’s superb line of thrillers faces a baffling puzzle in his latest adventure…a brain-teasing puzzle that gets put together piece by fascinating piece...and a central character with Robin Hood-like integrity and an engagingly eccentric approach to life.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Deeply satisfying...plan to stay up long past bedtime and do some serious hyperventilating toward the end.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Entertaining & Suspenseful

I'm enjoying these Jack Reacher novels (audiobook format). Like the others, this one kept me guessing and not wanting to pause and save some for later! The narrator did a great job of bringing the story to life.

Great story, narration sucks

Johnathan McClain ruined the story with his bad narration. The FBI agents just yelled and sounded angry every time he voiced their dialogue. I plan to skip any audiobook by him in the future. I suggest listening to a sample prior to spending a credit or money for this title.
The story itself was good however the method of murder is literally impossible but I’m able to ignore that.

The underage shit is weird

Great story. yet the last two books he flies real close to this weird attraction to underage women. it's just weird. I cringe every time.

Not quite right.

Officers are administrators not investigators in the military. so Major Jack Reacher never did much investigating. He wouldn't have tracked down or transported deserters, enlisted guys did this.

In a custody facility a SgtMaj. would never have been standing post in a brig.

The FBI though overrated, would never have been so deliberately inept.

From a former Marine MP, and 30 year retired law enforcement sergeant, this is a fun story, but would have been so much better with some realism.

Reacher in all his finest as he works to solve a serial killer mystery and a end you won’t see coming till the end.

Great mystery

All reacher books are exciting, so was this one. This was the best mystery so far.

Page turner

I couldn’t put it away. Don’t listen during work hours unless you are a multi-tasker
