Stephen King calls Jack Reacher the coolest continuing series characterand now hes back in this masterly new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child.
Why is this town called Mothers Rest? Thats all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. Its a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.
Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and theres something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long hes plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the wayright back to where he started, in Mothers Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine.
Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reachers rule is: If you want me to stop, youre going to have to make me.
**Praise for *Make Me Lee Childs Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee. Everything about it, starting with Reachers nose for bad news, is as strong as ever. . . . The big guys definitely on the upswing. The guy who writes about him is too.*Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Superb . . . Childs complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly.**Publishers Weekly (starred review) **The reigning champ ups the ante. . . . Yes, theres breakneck action, but what gives this one its zing is the multilayered plot. . . . The beguiling Chang offers a new treat for series fans as well, and a surprise at the end will keep readers short of breath until the next installment begins.**Booklist (starred review) **This series remains as compulsively readable as ever. Child is a master of pacing, stretching out the mystery through short chapters that give rise to bursts of well-choreographed violence. . . . Of course, the biggest strength is Reacher himself: impassive, analytical, secretly romantic, and relentlessly honorable. Its impossible not to root for him. . . . Reacher is still going strong. Will satisfy fansand newcomers, too.***Kirkus Reviews ***Praise for #1 bestselling author Lee Child and his Jack Reacher series
Reacher is the stuff of myth. . . . One of this centurys most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes.***The Washington Post ***[A] feverishly thrilling series . . . with Child, you can always count on furious action.**The Miami Herald**
