Description

'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' - Mick Herron- our hero Jack Reacher's quest into his father's past climaxes in the most stomach-clenching, hair-raising, blood-curdling ticking time bomb of an adventure yet. JACK REACHER NEVER LOOKS BACK . . . UNTIL NOW. 'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' - Mick Herron. The present can be tense . . . A young couple trying to get to New York City are stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. Before long they're trapped in an ominous game of life and death. But the past can be worse . . . Meanwhile, Jack Reacher sets out on an epic road trip across America. He doesn't get far. Deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. But when he arrives he is told no one named Reacher ever lived there. Now he wonders- who's lying? As the tension ratchets up and these two stories begin to entwine, the stakes have never been higher for Reacher. That's for damn sure. _________ Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Past Tense is the 23rd in the series. And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.27, No Plan B! ***OUT NOW***

One of the best. -- Jonathan Ross It's Lee Child. Why would you not read it? -- Karin Slaughter Sometimes you just want someone who can beat the s*** out of people!
