by Lee Child
Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter.
He's just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he's arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.
"A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about currency and counterfeiting…[A] taut and tough-minded first novel." —Publishers Weekly
"Great style and careful plotting. The violence is brutal… depicted with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense." —The New York Times
