EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Critics nationwide acclaimed *Killing Floor*, Lee Child's suspense debut, as a tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page (*Houston Chronicle*). Brilliantly written, agreed *Playboy*. Striking, applauded *The Chicago Tribune*. An unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted, warned *The Philadelphia Inquirer*. Relentlessly suspenseful, *The Denver Post* concurred. In a quiet Chicago suburb, a dentist is attacked in his office parking lot and forced into the trunk of his Lexus. On a sidewalk downtown, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight. Wordlessly and without warning, two armed men--confident, rehearsed, tense--hustle them into the same sedan. Then Reacher and the woman are switched into a second vehicle and hauled away, leaving the dentist bound and gagged inside his car with the woman's abandoned possessions, two gallons of gasoline . . . and a
burning match. Building on this harrowing start, Lee Child brings us another novel of nonstop high-speed suspense. Die Trying confirms his sizable talent and the magnetic appeal of Reacher, a hero who seems like someone with plenty of tales to tell (*The Philadelphia Inquirer*). Fortunately for us, he is and he will.
