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

Child neatly interweaves multiple narratives, ratchets up the suspense (the reveal of the motel plot is delicious), and delivers a powerful, satisfying denouement. Fans will enjoy learning more of this enduring character's roots, and Child's spare prose continues to set a very high bar."--Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred review) "Another first-class entry in a series that continues to set the gold standard for aspiring thriller authors."--Booklist (starred review) "With his usual flair for succinctness and eye for detail, Child creates another rollicking Reacher road trip that will please fans and newcomers alike."--Library Journal (starred review)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Lee Child returns with a gripping new powerhouse thriller featuring Jack Reacher, "one of this century's most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes" (The Washington Post). Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop window: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is tiny, for a woman, and it has her initials engraved on the inside. Reacher wonders what unlucky circumstance made her give up something she earned over four hard years. He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. Why not? So begins a harrowing journey that takes Reacher through the upper Midwest, from a lowlife bar on the sad side of small town to a dirt-blown crossroads in the middle of nowhere, encountering bikers, cops, crooks, muscle, and a missing persons PI who wears a suit and a tie in the Wyoming wilderness. The deeper Reacher digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain. Powerful forces are guarding a vast criminal enterprise. Some lines should never be crossed. But then, neither should Reacher. Praise for The Midnight Line "Puts Reacher just where we want him."--The New York Times Book Review "A gem."--Chicago Tribune "A timely, suspenseful, morally complex thriller, one of the best I've read this year . . . Child weaves in a passionately told history of opioids in American life. . . . Child's outrage over it is only just barely contained."--The Philadelphia Inquirer "A perfect example of Lee Child's talent . . . Lee Child is the master of plotting. . . . This is Child's most emotional book to date. . . . This is not just a good story; it is a story with a purpose and a message."--Huffington Post "I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. . . . It is as good as they always are. I read every single one."--Malcolm Gladwell

Jack 'No Middle Name' Reacher, lone wolf, knight errant, ex military cop, lover of women, scourge of the wicked and righter of wrongs, is the most iconic hero for our age.

Jack 'No Middle Name' Reacher, lone wolf, knight errant, ex military cop, lover of women, scourge of the wicked and righter of wrongs, is the most iconic hero for our age. This book collects all Lee Child's shorter fiction featuring Jack Reacher. It sheds new light on Reacher's past.

Jack Reacherilla, entisellä sotilaspoliisimajurilla, ei ole kotia, puhelinta tai sitoumuksia. Niinpä hän on täysin vapaa kulkemaan minne mielii. Kun Reacher osuu matkoillaan erääseen pikkukaupunkiin New Hampshiressä, hän muistaa sen olevan virallisten papereiden mukaan hänen isänsä syntymäpaikka ja päättää pysähtyä vähäksi aikaa. Mutta kaupungissa kukaan ei ole koskaan kuullutkaan nimestä Reacher... Omalla maallaan on 23. Reacher-suomennos.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES - Don't miss the hit streaming series Reacher The ultimate Jack Reacher experience: a thrilling new novella and eleven previously published stories, together for the first time in one pulse-pounding collection from Lee Child. No Middle Name begins with "Too Much Time," a brand-new work of short fiction that finds Reacher in a hollowed-out town in Maine, where he witnesses a random bag-snatching but sees much more than a simple crime. "Small Wars" takes readers back to 1989, when Reacher is an MP assigned to solve the brutal murder of a young officer found along an isolated forest road in Georgia--and whose killer may be hiding in plain sight. In "Not a Drill," Reacher tries to take some downtime, but a pleasant hike in Maine turns into a walk on the wild side--and perhaps something far more sinister. "High Heat" time-hops to 1977, when Reacher is a teenager in sweltering New York City during a sudden blackout that awakens the dark side of the city that never sleeps. Okinawa is the setting of "Second Son," which reveals the pivotal moment when young Reacher's sharp "lizard brain" becomes just as important as his muscle. In "Deep Down," Reacher tracks down a spy by matching wits with four formidable females--three of whom are clean, but the fourth may prove fatal. Rounding out the collection are "Guy Walks into a Bar," "James Penney's New Identity," "Everyone Talks," "The Picture of the Lonely Diner," "Maybe They Have a Tradition," and "No Room at the Motel." No suitcase. No destination. No middle name. No matter how far Reacher travels off the beaten path, trouble always finds him. Feel bad for trouble. Praise for No Middle Name "Captivating . . . classic Lee] Child . . . This volume demonstrates what his fans already know: he's a born storyteller and an astute observer."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lee Child, like his creation, always knows exactly what he's doing--and he does it well. Time in his company is never wasted."--Evening Standard
