A Wanted Man

About this book

A broken nose, a stretch of empty Nebraska highway and a freezing winter night: Jack Reacher just wants a ride east. After ninety-three minutes with his thumb out, a car finally stops. Inside are three strangers who seem polite, careful and oddly unsure of one another. Reacher takes the lift anyway. But this is no ordinary night. Not far away, a man in a green winter coat has walked into a concrete bunker and never come out, two men in black suits have driven off in a bright red car, and the police, the highway patrol and a helicopter are all hunting across hundreds of miles of dark roadblock country. Reacher soon realises that his companions are not what they claim to be, and that the people who really want him may be far more dangerous than the law. A Wanted Man is the seventeenth Jack Reacher thriller from bestselling author Lee Child. Expect lean, propulsive prose, sharp deduction, tense confined-space suspense and a hero who thinks his way through a fight as well as he wins it. It works as a standalone page-turner for newcomers and is a treat for long-time fans of the drifter ex-military cop.
