#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -"High-powered, intricately wrought suspense."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times****"Hold on tight. . . . This novel will give you whiplash as you rabidly turn pages. . . . May be Lee Child's] best."--* USA TodayNew 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. 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. ** "Propulsive . . . Child is] an expert at ratcheting up tension."-- Los Angeles Times* ** "A top-notch thriller."--Booklist (starred review)** ** "Edgy . . . thoroughly engrossing."--* The Miami Herald***
