#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jack Reacher comes to the aid of an elderly couple . . . and confronts his most dangerous opponents yet.
"Jack Reacher is today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of."-Ken Follett
"This is a random universe," Reacher says. "Once in a blue moon things turn out just right."
This isn't one of those times.
Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now Reacher wants to make it right.
An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs.
Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins. He teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she's letting on, and sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. It's a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY EVENING STANDARD
Biography
Lee Child wurde in den englischen Midlands geboren, studierte Jura und arbeitete dann zwanzig Jahre lang beim Fernsehen, wo er u.a. so hochklassige Thrillerserien wie 'Prime Suspect' ('Heißer Verdacht') oder 'Cracker' ('Für alle Fälle Fitz') betreute. 1995 kehrte er der Fernsehwelt und England den Rücken, zog in die USA und landete bereits mit seinem ersten Jack-Reacher-Thriller einen internationalen Bestseller. Seither fesselt er seine Fans mit immer neuen atemberaubenden Reacher-Romanen. Er wurde mit mehreren hoch dotierten Preisen ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem 'Anthony Award', dem renommiertesten Preis für Spannungsliteratur und 2013 mit dem CWA Diamond Dagger.
