Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain
little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and
Afghanistan--by dozens of people with one thing in common: They're
all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him
killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze
crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow
war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that
way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and
look your worst enemy in the eye.
From a helicopter high above the empty California desert, a man is
sent free-falling into the night.... In Chicago, a woman learns
that an elite team of ex-army investigators is being hunted down
one by one.... And on the streets of Portland, Jack
Reacher--soldier, cop, hero--is pulled out of his wandering life by
a code that few other people could understand. From the first
shocking scenes in Lee Child's explosive new novel, Jack Reacher is
plunged like a knife into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing
old friends...and is on its way to something even worse.
A decade postmilitary, Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on
his back--no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a woman from
his old unit has done the impossible. From Chicago, Frances Neagley
finds Reacher, using a signal only the eight members of their elite
team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying
story--about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon
Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his old team, scrambling
to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a
mystery that is growing darker by the day. The deeper they dig, the
more they don't know: about two other comrades who have suddenly
gone missing--and a trail that leads into the neon of Vegas and the
darkness of international terrorism.
For now, Reacher can only react. To every sound. Every suspicion.
Every scent and every moment. Then Reacher will trust the people he
once trusted with his life--and take this thing all the way to the
end. Because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone
targets Jack Reacher and his team, they'd better be ready for what
comes right back at them...
"From the Hardcover edition."
This compilation includes three Jack Reacher novellas and the
ultimate fan guide "Jack Reacher's Rules.
"
Deep Down:
In thriller master Lee Child's short story "Deep Down," Jack
Reacher must track down a spy in soldier's clothing--by matching
wits with four formidable females. Three are clean--but the fourth
may prove fatal.
Summoned by Military Intelligence to Washington, D.C., Reacher is
sent undercover. The assignment that awaits him: The army is
meeting with its Capitol Hill paymasters for classified talks on a
new, state-of-the-art sniper rifle for U.S. forces. But vital
details about the weapon are leaking--straight from the Capitol and
probably into the hands of unidentified foreign arms dealers. The
prospect of any and every terrorist, mercenary, or dictator's
militia getting their hands on the latest superior firepower is
unthinkable. That's where Reacher comes in. His task: infiltrate
the top-secret proceedings and smoke out the mole. His target: a
quartet of high-powered Army political liaison officers--all of
them fast-track women on their way to the top.
According to his bosses, it's a zero-danger mission. No need to
draw a gun . . . just chat over drinks. But Reacher knows that
things are rarely what they seem. And he's learned the hard way
never to underestimate an opponent. Or four. Lessons that will come
in handy when he starts digging for the truth--and gets his hands a
lot dirtier than he expected.
Second Son:
A young Jack Reacher knows how to finish a fight so it stays
finished. He knows how to get the job done so it stays done. And,
in one of his earliest challenges, he knows that his analytical
brain is just as important as his impressive brawn.
Okinawa, 1974. Even at thirteen, Jack Reacher knows how to outwit
and overpower anyone who stands in his way. And as the new kid in
town, that's pretty much everyone. His family has come to the
Pacific with his father, who's preparing for a top-secret Marine
Corps operation. After receiving a rude welcome from the local
military brats, Reacher and his older brother, Joe, intend to teach
them a lesson they won't forget. But it's soon clear that there's
more at stake than pride. When his family's future appears to come
crumbling down, it's the youngest Reacher who rises to the occasion
with all the decisive cunning and bravura that will one day be his
deadly trademark.
High Heat:
In the midst of a savage heat wave and an infamous murder spree, a
blackout awakens the dark side of the city that never sleeps--and a
young Jack Reacher takes action as only he can.
July 1977. Jack Reacher is almost seventeen, and he stops in New
York City on the way to visit his brother at West Point. The summer
heat is suffocating, the city is bankrupt, and the mad gunman known
as Son of Sam is still on the loose. Reacher meets a woman with a
problem, and agrees to help her . . . but then the power grid fails
and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city into chaos. What
does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager
is Jack Reacher, the answer is plenty.
