The bestselling novel featuring the "wonderfully epic hero" (People) who inspired the hit film Jack Reacher.

Thumbing across the scorched west Texas desert, loner Jack Reacher has nowhere to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is pretty Carmen Greer. But for Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen’s got a story to tell, and it’s a wild one. All about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that’s pure Gothic. She’s also got a plan. Jack Reacher’s part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

Critic reviews

“The best mystery I have read all year.”—The Boston Globe

“A real dyed-in-the-wool hero…with a wicked sense of right and wrong. A story you can sink your teeth into.”—The Denver Post

“As sweltering as the El Paso sun…bottom line: jalapeno-hot suspense.”—People

“Constantly escalating tension and a host of sinister villains…a Texas version of Deliverance. Child is a vigorous storyteller, gradually building the suspense to almost unbearable levels.”—The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Smashingly suspenseful…The kind of daylight-noir setting that Jim Thompson loved. Child builds tension to unbearable extremes.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“An explosive nail-biting climax.”—Library Journal

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.

Dick Hill cannot read female parts at all! 5 stars if not for the whining

The whining!!!

Dick Hill sounds likeGeorge Murdock who played Lt. Scanlon on Barney Miller. The same burned out tired New York voice of a character no one liked. If it wasn’t for wanting to complete the series, I would’ve dumped this. Extremely tiresome narration.

For me, the narrator and his mouth noises drive me absolutely bonkers and takes away from the story.

Good, but not great IMO
