#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Don't miss the hit streaming series Reacher
"The best one yet."--Stephen King Someone has tried to kill the French president. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total confidence? John Kott--a U.S. Army marksman gone bad--is one of them. After fifteen years in prison, he's out . . . and there's a G8 summit coming up, packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin. If anyone can stop Kott, it's the man who beat him before: Jack Reacher. And though he'd rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with rookie analyst Casey Nice. They're facing a rough road, full of local thugs, double-crosses, and no backup if things go wrong. Reacher never gets too close. But this time it's personal. This edition includes the bonus short story "Not a Drill."
I had to read the entire novel with one hand covering the next page so I wouldn't see what might happen. Great writing. Each page is written like a storyboard for a movie. It just keeps tumbling downhill like an avalanche. Tom what's-his-name Cruise is the worst possible choice for the Reacher role. He's just a puke. Reacher is bad ass and believingly brutal. The plot surprises in this novel are unsuspected and astonishing once Reacher reveals them. I was blown away. My second Reacher novel and in their own class. Can't get enough of this guy and Lee Child's excellent scripting and terse, clear writing.
