The trade paperback tie-in edition of the first novel in Lee Child's #1 bestselling Jack Reacher series-the inspiration for the new Prime Video series Reacher.Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He's just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he's arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.Story Locale: Rural GeorgiaSeries Overview: Jack Reacher was a military policeman. Now he's part drifter and part knight errant-mostly he's a force of nature.

Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had.

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, another telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And a hitchhiker with a broken nose. An hour behind them, the FBI descends on an old pumping station where a man was stabbed to death—the knife work professional, the killers nowhere to be seen.

There are people in this hostile, empty place who would rather die, than reveal their secrets. But then, if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead. (c) Lee Child, Andrew Child 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Lee Child returns with a gripping new powerhouse thriller featuring Jack Reacher, "one of this century's most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes" (The Washington Post). Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop window: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is tiny, for a woman, and it has her initials engraved on the inside. Reacher wonders what unlucky circumstance made her give up something she earned over four hard years. He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. Why not? So begins a harrowing journey that takes Reacher through the upper Midwest, from a lowlife bar on the sad side of small town to a dirt-blown crossroads in the middle of nowhere, encountering bikers, cops, crooks, muscle, and a missing persons PI who wears a suit and a tie in the Wyoming wilderness. The deeper Reacher digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain. Powerful forces are guarding a vast criminal enterprise. Some lines should never be crossed. But then, neither should Reacher.Praise for The Midnight Line "Puts Reacher just where we want him."-The New York Times Book Review"A gem."-Chicago Tribune "A timely, suspenseful, morally complex thriller, one of the best I've read this year . . . Child weaves in a passionately told history of opioids in American life. . . .

I read every single one."-Malcolm Gladwell

24. bog i serien om actionhelten Jack Reacher. I en navnløs storby kæmper to skånselsløse gangster­bander om magten, en albansk og en ukrainsk. De havde bare ikke forventet at se Jack Reacher dukke op i området.Reacher er vant til at observere. Han befinder sig i en Greyhoundbus, hvor han ser en gammel mand sidde og sove med en kuvert fuld af penge stikkende op af lommen. Det har en anden passager også bemærket ... og har tydeligvis tænkt sig at blive rig i en fart.Da røveren går i aktion, griber Reacher ind. Den gamle mand er taknemlig, men afviser alligevel Reachers tilbud om at følge ham hjem. Han er skrøbelig, bange og tydeligvis i meget store vanskeligheder.Hvilken klemme kan banderne dog have på den gamle mand? Vil Reacher bare holde afstand og lade tingene udvikle sig til det værre? Eller vil han kunne vende situationen til alles fordel?”Universet består af tilfældigheder,” sagde Reacher. ”En sjælden gang udvikler tingene sig uden varsel bare helt rigtigt.”Sandsynligheden for det er større med Reacher i nærheden. Det er i hvert fald helt sikkert. ”'Uden varsel' kommer ind på nogle vigtige og meget relevante emner, blandt andet det amerikanske sundshedsvæsen og forsikringer, bander, lyssky lån og beskyttelsespenge… hvilket helt sikkert var med til at fænge mig.” - Bech’s books ”Jeg nyder Reacher bøgerne, de er godt skrevet, og så er de faktisk spændende.” - god-bog.dk"Child er på toppen i denne neglebider."- Publishers Weekly"Som figur er Reacher uimodståelig i en grad, hvor han henter sig fans alle mulige steder."- BooklistLee Child er en af verdens førende thrillerforfattere.
