"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)Jack Reacher has no place to go,and all the time in the world to get there.A remote railroad 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.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.____Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order,Make Me is 20th in the series.And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure,no.27,No Plan B!

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.Typically blunt and energetic...precisely judged.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.Breathless and bloody...You can't help lapping it up.The fights are convincing and the dialogue is as brilliant as always.
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.
