“Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap
it up. Love it . . . Here, there is something subversive as well as
page-turning. . . . I don’t know another author so skilled at
making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all.”—The
Times
“Reacher is the purest distillation of the white knight in
contemporary mystery fiction. This novel is a tightly plotted ride
with characters who will break your heart and linger after you
close the book.”—Mystery Scene
“Reacher [is] one of the most alluring and popular characters in
contemporary fiction. . . . As always in a Child novel, pace is
fast, twists and turns surprise, characters are well-developed,
dialogue is exactly right, and the plot is very plausible. . . .
Highly entertaining . . . This one is among the best [in the
series]. It doesn’t matter in what order you read them since each
stands entirely on its own.”—The Washington Times
“A timely, affecting, suspenseful and morally complex thriller. . .
. One of the best thrillers I’ve read this year.”—The Washington
Post
“Jack Reacher has become arguably the most iconic fictional hero we
have.”—Men’s Health
“Compelling and moving . . . bold and mysterious.”—Associated
Press
“This, Child’s twenty-second book in the series, has heart to
spare, and it proves the franchise has plenty of gas left in its
tank.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“Compulsively readable.”—Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
“[A] multifaceted novel about dealing with the unthinkable . . .
It’s automatic: Reacher gets off a bus, and Child lands on
the New York Times bestseller list.”—Booklist
“The book is very smart . . . [and] suggests something that has not
been visible in the series’ previous entries: a creeping sadness in
Reacher’s wanderings that, set here among the vast and empty
landscapes of Wyoming, resembles the peculiarly solitary loneliness
of the classic American hero. This return to form is also a hint of
new ground to be covered.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Child does a stellar job this time by not following his customary
formula; his usually stoic hero who rarely displays softness and
compassion is hit hard emotionally by this case.”’—Library Journal
(starred review)
