The Novel

Two small towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher can't find a ride, so he walks. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four redneck deputies who want to run him out of town. Mistake. They're picking on the wrong guy. Jack Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity. What is the secret the locals seem so keen to hide? A hard man is good to find. Ex-military cop Reacher is today's most addictive hero. Now he pulls on a tiny loose thread, to unravel conspiracies that expose the most shocking truths. Because, after all, Jack Reacher has nothing to lose.

Reviews

David Sexton, Evening Standard
[Child] makes what he does seem simple. If it is, though, it's strange nobody else has managed it so well.

Maxim
Reacher fans will love it...taking justice into his own hands and to hell with the wos'name...a solid inter-Bond-film substitute.

Mirror
Classic Child...Reacher, both a man's man and a ladies' man, proves once again that he's also his own man.

Financial Times
Slots a series of bone-crunching brawls into a surprisingly sinuous and zeitgeisty plot...Reacher's bare-knuckle sleuthing certainly keeps the adrenalin up.
