Make Me: A heart-stopping Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author: 20 (Jack Reacher, 20)

New
paperback

$11.83

Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote rail road stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat...but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness. Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence. (Sunday Times).

Media Reviews

Child's best for some time: an enhancement of the old formula, with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence. * Sunday Times *
Typically blunt and energetic...precisely judged. * Independent *
Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee ( Are you going to be a problem? I'm already a problem. The question is, what are you going to do about it? ). Everything about it...is as strong as ever....Make Me is a hot one. -- Janet Maslin * New York Times *
Breathless and bloody...You can't help lapping it up. * Evening Standard *
The fights are convincing and the dialogue is as brilliant as always. * Literary Review *
