Book description
Killing Floor is the first book in the internationally popular
series about Jack Reacher, hero of the new blockbuster movie
starring Tom Cruise. It presents Reacher for the first time, as the
tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the
perfect action hero.
Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks fourteen miles down a
country road into Margrave, Georgia. An arbitrary decision he's about
to regret.
Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they have had their
first homicide in thirty years. The cops arrest Reacher and the police
chief turns eyewitness to place him at the scene. As nasty secrets
leak out, and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure.
They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
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.
