The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.

Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient wakes to find two strangers by his bed.

They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question. Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a fall which generates some unexpected attention.

That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.

Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.

Will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way . . . or his way?

Reseñas de la Crítica

The Secret is a corker . . . Fast and furious, this is classic Jack Reacher doing what he does best – busting heads and breaking rules to get to the bottom of a conspiracy

A flow to the fight scenes . . . some flashes of humour . . . Welcome back, Jack

If there is a more iconic character in modern fiction than Jack Reacher, I’d like to meet them

Jack Reacher is on good form . . . Cue classic laconic violence

Convenience

Nice to be read to when your eyes are tired very nice to have whenever you need it.

Were is Reacher.

A realy good story. I looking for more of Reachers fights.
But a realy good tempo in this book as in all Recher books.
You don't want to stop reading / listening.

Formulaic and predictable

I’ve read or listened to all of the Reacher books and I was entertained to a degree.

This is no Killing Floor statement read and found it sub par compared to others in the series.

It’s ok.

A different Reacher

Where is the old Reacher. This one is a bit of a woke one. I still liked it as I am a Reacher tragic but bring back the real Reacher please.

an improvement

easily andrews best effort so far. still middling compared to reacher books generally though. still heavier on dialogue and easy to discern the difference between lee and andrews writing. not one of jeff hardings best reads either, didn't love the choices for character voices
