In a nameless city,two ruthless rival criminal gangs,one Albanian,the other Ukrainian,are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch.
Reacher is trained to notice things. He's on a Greyhound bus,watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat,with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too...obviously hoping to get rich quick.
As the mugger makes his move,Reacher steps in. The old man is grateful,yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable,scared,and clearly in big,big trouble. What hold could the gangs possibly have on the old guy Will Reacher sit back and let bad things happen Or can he twist the situation to everyone's benefit

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Your hands keep turning those pages,drawn in by storytelling that knows fancy words count for less than clarity and rhythm. Good work Reacher. And good work Lee Child'- The Times
'It is tremendously comforting to be in the hands of Child and his hero.'- The Observer
Lee Child
One of Waterstones'very favourite authors,Lee Child sprang from redundancy at Granada Television in 1995 to rise to thriller-writing pre-eminence with his sequence of stories featuring ex-military policeman Jack Reacher. A huge draw at countless Waterstones events,working with Lee over the years has for us always been an absolute pleasure.
