Will Lee Child ever stop writing!? Let’s hope not! I’d have thought after all these years and all these stories, he may have bored with Reacher. But no, he... READ MORE

Synopsis

Shortlisted for the British Book Awards Crime & Thriller Book of the Year 2020

Longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2020

‘This is a random universe,’ he says. ‘Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.’

In a nameless city, two ruthless rival criminal gangs, one Albanian, the other Ukrainian, are competing for control. But they hadn’t counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch.

Reacher is trained to notice things. He’s on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too ... obviously hoping to get rich quick.

As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in. The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher’s offer to help him home. He’s vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble. What hold could the gangs possibly have on the old guy? Will Reacher sit back and let bad things happen? Or can he twist the situation to everyone’s benefit?

Dragged in the middle
Classic Reacher but it dragged in the middle and didn't seem to know where it was going. After a couple of chapters it picked up and got going again.
