Publisher Description
The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.
Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient wakes to find two strangers by his bed.
They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question. Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a fall which generates some unexpected attention.
That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.
Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.
Will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way . . . or his way?

Customer Reviews
Getting better
As Lee Child passed over the baton to his brother, the books took a turn for the worse. The storytelling was dull and lacked pace. Andrew Child spent far too much time setting scenes I. The dullest way possible. However, he seems to have listened to the feedback and made great strides. The Secret is a decent read.
Disappointing
Worst of the lot and I’ve read them all. Lots of sitting around discussing and far to little action
Great read.
Excellent book a twist at the end!
