Reacher comes to the UK! Dangerous, sexy and invincible.

Jack Reacher is alone, the way he likes it.

He watches a man cross a New York street and drive away in a Mercedes. The car contains $1 million of ransom money. Reacher's job is to make sure it all turns out right - money paid, family safely returned.

But Reacher is in the middle of a nasty little war where nothing is simple.

What started on a busy New York street explodes three thousand miles away, in the sleepy English countryside.

Reacher's going to have to do this one the hard way.

_________

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Hard Way is the 10th in the series.

And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***OUT NOW***

Praise for The Hard Way

Reacher, who has long since gained mythical status, is human after all ... This is storytelling of the highest order: lean, laconic, laced with tension

Evening Standard

The invincible Reacher is as irresistible as ever

Sunday Telegraph

Child is a consummate thriller writer: his prose is trim but descriptive, his plots believable, fresh and positively airtight, and shows himself a master of misdirection

Time Out

Lee Child is often mistaken for a US writer, so skilfully and enthusiastically has he embraced the idiom of the American thriller ... One of the genre's finest practitioners

Independent

Another cracking teeth-chatterer

Daily Mail

Possibly the British author's best yet

Daily Mirror

After nine well-received Jack Reacher novels in as many years, Lee Child has established his best-selling series on a firm foundation. Readers can pick up any of the books and have a good idea of what to expect. They know Reacher will perform daring acts of bravery and feats of deductive brilliance.They can expect to find a little humor, a little sex, and the best action scenes in the business. The Hard Way is a straight-ahead, high-octane thriller that drops the reader down in the middle of the story and keeps you turning the pages until the plot speeds to its thrilling conclusion.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Nine red-hot books ago, Lee Child concocted the rough, tough Superman of the crime-busting genre, as smart and charismatic as he is unbeatable. And then Mr. Child broke the mold...Reacher returns in this series' 10th installment, The Hard Way. Reading Mr. Child is not only a mentally transporting experience but also, at times, a physical one. Don't be surprised to find your hand replicating the finger movements that tip off Reacher to a keypad matrix's four-digit combination.
