THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER/A RICHARD & JUDY BOOKCLUB 2018 PICK
Jack Reacher is having a bad day.
It would be a dumb idea to make it worse.
Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it.
All he wants is to find the woman.
He'll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle.
If she's ok, he'll walk away. If she's not ... he'll stop at nothing.
Best advice: stay out of his way.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Midnight Line follows on directly from the end of Make Me.
And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.27, No Plan B! ***OUT NOW***
Marks a real departure for Lee Child, who homes in on two
hot issues (US military veterans with mental or physical scars, and a related social plague currently in the news) ...Alongside this
topicality is a
poignancy that was lacking in earlier books.Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year
I lap it up. Love it...
Best one for a while...there is something
subversive as well as
page-turning...The sentences are short, but that doesn't mean the thinking is small....I don't know another author so
skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all.I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child….It is as
good as they always are.
I read every single one. Addictive...Child's trademark staccato-style delivers
all-action excitement as well as a sombre message about the hypocrisy of the US war on drugs.An eccentric but
winning blend of the serious and the
playful, this modern
western resembles a collaboration between the
Coen brothers and Karl Ove Knausgaard.
