<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>“High-powered, intricately wrought suspense.”—Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i></b><br> <br> <b>“Hold on tight. . . . This novel will give you whiplash as you rabidly turn pages. . . . May be [Lee Child’s] best.”—<i>USA Today</i></b><br> <br> New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack.<br> <br> Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan—by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.<br> <br> <b>“Propulsive . . . [Child is] an expert at ratcheting up tension.”—<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>“A top-notch thriller.”—<i>Booklist</i> (starred review)</b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>“Edgy . . . thoroughly engrossing.”—<i>The Miami Herald</i></b>
