#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Don't miss the hit streaming series Reacher "A veritable tour de force . . . brilliantly executed and deliciously plotted."--The Washington Times Everything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. Reacher is ordered undercover to investigate the murder of a young woman. Evidence points to a U. S. soldier with powerful friends. Once in Carter Crossing, Reacher meets local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux, who has a thirst for justice and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain they can trust each other, they reluctantly join forces. Reacher works to uncover the truth, while others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to shatter his faith in his mission-- and turn him into a man to be feared.
Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle read from Lee Child, creator of `today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of' (Ken Follett). Jack Reacher is a former military cop, 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. When the mugger finally makes his move, Reacher rides to the rescue. 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. Elsewhere in the city, two ruthless rival criminal gangs, one Albanian, the other Ukrainian, are competing for control. Do they have a life-and-death hold on the old guy? Will Reacher sit back and let bad things happen? Or can he twist the situation to everyone's benefit? `This is a random universe,' he says. `Once in a blue moon things turn out just right. The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.

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

NR 1 PÅ INTERNASJONALE BESTSELGERLISTER EN JACK REACHER-THRILLER I vinduet på en pantelånersjappe får Reacher øye på en West Point skolering fra 2005. Den er knøttliten, og må ha tilhørt en kvinnelig soldat. Reacher er selv West Point-mann, og vet hva hun måtte gjennom for å få ringen. Hvorfor pantsatte hun den? Han bestemmer seg for å finne henne og gi henne ringen tilbake. Jo mer han graver, desto mer skitten blir jakten, for ringen er bare et ledd i en dødelig lenke, styrt av kyniske krefter som utnytter de svakeste. «Må leses.» – Publishers Weekly «Et perfekt eksempel på Lee Childs talent.» – Huffington Post
