#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!
“Jack Reacher is today’s James Bond, a thriller hero we can’t get enough of.”—Ken Follett
“This is a random universe,” Reacher says. “Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.”
This isn’t one of those times.
Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now Reacher wants to make it right.
An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs.
Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins. He teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she’s letting on, and sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. It’s a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY EVENING STANDARD
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Ever wonder who’s riding the bus with you? In Jack Reacher’s world, you best believe it’s going to be someone dangerous. In Lee Child’s 24th Reacher thriller, our not-to-be-trifled-with hero is taking a Greyhound trip. While trying to help an elderly couple, he gets drawn into a violent Albanian-Ukrainian gang war. Child’s writing is as vivid as ever and his protagonist’s reality remains dark and gloomy. What makes us root for Reacher is his unwavering commitment to protecting the innocent. A taut, fast-paced thriller where the action never stops, Blue Moon introduces us to real, lived-in characters in the midst of all the chaos and violence. Reading this on your commute will make the time fly by—just keep one eye on the passengers in the seats around you.

Lee has lost his touch. Over the top. Jack is no longer relevant.
