Book description
Featuring Jack Reacher, hero of the new blockbuster movie starring
Tom Cruise, in
his younger days as a Military Policeman in the US Army.
New Year's Day, 1990.
A soldier is found dead in a sleazy motel bed. Jack Reacher is
the officer on duty. The soldier turns out to be a two-star general.
The situation is bad enough, then Reacher finds the general's wife.
This stomach-churning thriller turns back the clock to a younger
Reacher, in dogtags. A Reacher who still believes in the service. A
Reacher who imposes army discipline. Even if only in his own pragmatic way...
Lee Child
is one of the world's leading thriller writers. His novels consistently
achieve the number one slot in hardback and paperback on bestsellers
lists on both sides of the Atlantic, and are translated into over forty
languages. His debut novel,
Killing Floor,
was written after he was made redundant from his television job in
Manchester, and introduced his much-admired maverick hero, the former
military cop Jack Reacher. Born in Coventry, he now lives in America.
