About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient wakes to find two strangers by his bed.

They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question. Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a fall which generates some unexpected attention.

That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.

Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.

Will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way . . . or his way?

Ratings and reviews

I'm a huge Jack Reacher fan and have all of the titles in my audio library. I look forward eagerly to every new book and so, I'm sorry to say, that I was hugely disappointed in this one. For me, there is just not enough Reacher, the bulk of story seems to be about the other characters. I understand the complex plot needs to be explained and I enjoy that part of these books but I also want lots of Reacher, he is why I buy these books rather than many other crime and investigation stories. I normally listen and re-listen several times to my Reacher books, this one I will not and that's a shame. I prey next years book gets back on track.

I love jack reachers books and movies but this 1 is like he wasn't into it or sick or something else on his plate hope the next book is better so we can put this 1 behind us we all have good and bad years
