Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.
**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**
Reacher never backs down from a problem.
And he's about to find a big one, on a deserted Arizona road, where a Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. Under the merciless desert sun, nothing is as it seems.
Minutes later Reacher is heading into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days. Next to him is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent, who is trying to find her twin brother. He might have got mixed up with some dangerous people.
And Reacher might just need to pay them a visit.
Their leader has burrowed his influence deep into the town. Just to get in and meet the mysterious Dendoncker, Reacher is going to have to achieve the impossible.
To get answers will be even harder. There are people in this hostile, empty place who would rather die than reveal their secrets.
But then, if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead.
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Better Off Dead is the 26th ausiobook in the internationally popular series.
‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

Customer Reviews
Good story spoiled by low audio quality
All the Jack Reacher stories are real “page turners” but this audiobook has been encoded at a ridiculously low quality level of compression. I can hear clipping and compression artifacts in the narrators voice and it is annoying. It would only need a slightly greater compression quality to solve this problem and it wouldn’t add much to the download size. Crazy policy.
Sound quality is awful!
Have just listened to the first couple of minutes and sound quality is so distracting not sure I will even be able to continue listening to it - very disappointed! I have never experienced this before and I have listened to nearly all Jack Reacher audio books!
