** REACHER SEASON 4: OUT NOW ON PRIME VIDEO**
"This was the first Jack Reacher novel and with its lean, spare prose it has one of the most intriguing heroes of our times and displays a gift for explosive drama." (Daily Express)
Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks fourteen miles down a country road into Margrave, Georgia. An arbitrary decision he's about to regret.
Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they have had their first homicide in thirty years. The cops arrest Reacher and the police chief turns eyewitness to place him at the scene. As nasty secrets leak out, and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure.
They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
_________
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Killing Floor is the first book in the internationally popular series. It presents Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the perfect action hero.
The latest Reacher thriller, EXIT STRATEGY, is available now in paperback - the brand new adventure, CHAIN REACTION, is out in October 2026 and is available to pre-order now!

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lee Child’s first novel also marks the debut for his enduring anti-hero Jack Reacher, who has since appeared in more than two dozen books. The towering ex-military drifter is arrested for murder on the opening page of Killing Floor, drawing him into a network of corruption that extends far beyond the sleepy small town in Georgia where the action begins. Framed by local law enforcement, Reacher grows even more fixated on retribution when he learns of his brother’s involvement. Brutally violent when circumstances require it, Reacher becomes an unrelenting force of justice. The book’s staccato first-person narration and darkly comic touches establish the brooding blueprint for the many Reacher thrillers to come, as well as inspiring the hard-bitten 2022 TV series Reacher.
