About this ebook

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

“Explosive and nearly impossible to put down.”—People

Two small towns in the middle of nowhere: Hope and Despair. Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher can’t find a ride, so he walks. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four hostile locals, a vagrancy charge, and an order to move on. They’re picking on the wrong guy.

Reacher is a hard man. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing at all, except hardheaded curiosity. What are the secrets that Despair seems so desperate to hide?

With just one ally—a mysterious woman cop from Hope—and many enemies, Reacher goes up against a whole town, hunting the rich man at its core, cracking open his terrifying agenda, asking the question: Who has the edge—a man with everything to gain, or a man with nothing to lose?

Ratings and reviews

Tediously boring antiAmerican rhetoric from a non American author....sorry I paid for this book. Only buy it if you want hundreds of pages detailing how bumpy the road is and chapters on how quiet the silence is.......

The movement between towns was difficult to follow/visualize. Story was slow at times. The mix of the two "bad guy" plot lines were strange to put together. It never seemed all that clear how/why the women/wives at the motel were there. Just not as well written as the other Reacher books.

Not a great book by L.C. Of course Reacher is a great, fun to read character. But this story is incredible slow and at times very boring. I am sorry to write but I haven't finished the book yet. I have about 75 pages to go and can't wait to finish it just so it's over. Disappointing.
