Publisher Description
"Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times)
Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there.
A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat.
Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people.
Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The 20th Jack Reacher novel ranks up there with the most entertaining, suspenseful titles in the series. In Make Me, the ex-military hero steps off a train in the town of Mother’s Rest, which lives up to the strangeness of its name. Teaming up with an ex-FBI agent, Reacher gets involved in a missing-person case that escalates into something much more sinister. Bestselling author Lee Child delivers a thriller that’s stacked with zingy one-liners, a compelling relationship and jaw-dropping twists.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Child's superb 20th Jack Reacher novel (after 2014's Personal) begins with the disposal of the body of someone named Keever, with a backhoe in a hog pen near an almost-forgotten town in the Midwest called Mother's Rest, which Reacher decides to visit (as he points out, he has "no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there"). The mystery deepens dramatically after he meets Michelle Chang, who's looking for her PI colleague: Keever. Reacher and Chang make a formidable team faced with a formidable challenge: finding out what happened to Keever, the only clue a cryptic note that reads "200 deaths." The investigation takes the two from Mother's Rest to Chicago, Arizona, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and to the Internet's netherworld, the "Deep Web." What they discover is beyond gruesome and almost beyond belief it's decidedly not for the faint of heart but Child's complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly.
Customer Reviews
Nice one
Had all the usual combinations of Reacher. The sore head thing is new.
Extremely Dark
This book takes the reader to a dark place full of things that actually exist in real life.
I had to take a year off from Lee and Reacher after this latest adventure.
Don’t let this deter you though as Lee once again shows why he is an exceptional story teller which you can’t put down until the final sentence.
Enjoy this latest Reacher journey.
Make ME into a Movie!
This was my first Lee Child read, and I found it to have an incredibly detailed storyline full of surprises & twists at every turn! It was surprising , entertaining and completely gripping! I couldn’t put it down for curiosity’s sake.
Certain parts were perhaps drawn out a little more than necessary, but overall a super strong story and one of the better books I’ve read in my lifetime (a year later and it’s still left an impression on me!) ... I truly hope they make this into the next Reacher movie!! It has total blockbuster potential!
