OverviewFeaturing Jack Reacher, hero of the blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise. Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cooke have a lot in common. Both were army high-flyers. Both were aquainted with Jack Reacher. Both were forced to resign from the service. Now they're both dead. Found in their own homes, naked, in a bath full of paint. Apparent victims of an army man. A loner, a smart guy with a score to settle, a ruthless vigilante. A man just like Jack Reacher.

Reacher is the sort of hero no woman could help falling for, and he looks destined to have a very long life' * Daily Mail * 'A thumping good read...This is an excellent thriller of the Patricia Cornwell variety. Gripping and well-constructed...Impossible to put down' * Daily Express * Within a relatively short space of time, Child has gleaned the kind of recognition for his tautly written thrillers that is the envy of other practitioners. Child's previous thriller, the assured Die Trying won the W H Smith Thumping Good Read Award, and this latest thriller, featuring his tough and likeable protagonist Jack Reacher, is another powerful entry. With more casual panache than in even the previous Reacher adventures, Child dispatches a cannily written narrative which has his protagonist in mortal danger by chapter two. Two high-flying army career women are found dead in their houses, naked in baths filled with army camouflage paint. Both are known by Reacher and both have been victims of sexual harassment by their superiors, and forced to resign from the service. But can Reacher work with the spiky agent Blake, who is in charge of the case? As before, the English author shows a consummate grasp of America idioms (something Child takes great pride in) and his tale will ensure that many a train stop is missed.
