If I listed all the ways she helps me,
this dedication would be longer
than the book itself.
So I'll just say:

To my wife, Jane, with thanks
Nathan Rubin died because he got brave.
May contain spoilers
He stayed until Friday afternoon.

When a woman is kidnapped off a Chicago street in broad daylight, Jack Reacher's in the wrong place at the wrong time.  He's kidnapped with her.  Handcuffed together and racing across America toward an unknown destination, they're at the mercy of a group of men demanding an impossible ransom.  Because Reacher's female companion is worth more than he imagines.  Now he has to save them both - from the inside out - or die trying...

"A riveting thriller...  Taut, evocative prose.  It's a winner."
- Greg Iles

"A thoroughly engrossing tale told by an author who doesn't miss a beat"
- Rocky Mountain News

"[A] tense, action-packed adventure.  Jack Reacher is not merely a terrific hero; he sets a new standard."

 Lee Child
Birth: 29 Oct 1954 Coventry, West Midlands, England, UK
Notes:
From www.jackreacher.com:

Lee Child was born October 29th, 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham. By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. He went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director during British TV's "golden age." During his tenure his company made Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and Cracker. But he was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an opportunity where others might have seen a crisis and bought six dollars' worth of paper and pencils and sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
