Synopsis

Reacher never backs down from a problem.

And he's about to find a big one, on a deserted road in Arizona, where a car has crashed into the only tree for miles around.

Minutes later, Reacher is heading into town. To introduce himself to the shadowy crew who made it happen.

Their boss has a terrifying reputation and the stakes are high. Just to get in and meet him, Reacher is going to have to achieve the impossible.

To get answers will be even harder. There are people in this hostile, empty place who would rather die, than reveal their secrets.

But then, if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead.

Worst Reacher ever

I really didn’t enjoy this book. Aside from the flaky storyline, it’s taken short sentences to the extreme. Why use commas? When you can. Put full stops. A... READ MORE

Who is the real writer/author here?

I've now read 3 or 4 books which say the Child brothers are joint authors and to be honest they're not as good as when Lee Child used to be the only author... READ MORE

Disappointed!

Sorry its just a rewrite of all Lee Child books. I have been looking forward to a new release but this was just all too familiar!

Weak

This was the weakest story so far! Not sure why the style was changed unless the author is running out of ideas. Reacher needs to grow up.
