About this ebook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher! 

Jack Reacher is back! The “utterly addictive” (The New York Times) series continues as acclaimed author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.

“One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he’s larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one.”—James Patterson

As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.

But there’s nothing pleasant about the place.

In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.

The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.

Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against.

Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

Ratings and reviews

POLITICAL GARBAGE I have read every single Jack Reacher book I look forward to November it's my treat but now with his political nonsense socialism and liberalism communist junk fascist garbage and he's trying to portray just like Disney just like ABC abd the mainstream media we're done here Mister child we're done here!! waste of time 💩

As always, Lee Child books are exciting to read. Have you at the edge of your seat. Non-stop reading just to read what happens next. Thank you Mr.Child for never disappointing with your books. God bless you and yours always 🙏

This was a perfect book with a perfect plot, story and set of characters. It started out hilariously by showing it's audience who Jack Reacher was and continued by slowly and masterfully unraveling clues to the mystery. The details and descriptions of the setting and story were written beautifully. Every step along the journey of discovering the mystery of the small town was intriguing and awesome. Show much information about technology, history and physiology was conveyed through the plot and story alone. Jack Reacher was one of the most hilariously witting and kind characters to have ever been written. Each scene he was in was perfect and made the story better. The last chapter every tied together every thread in a most humorous manner. It was an undeniably funny book from the start to the end.
