About this listen

The bestselling novel featuring the “wonderfully epic hero” (People) who inspired the hit film Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher is an innocent bystander when he witnesses a woman being kidnapped off a Chicago street in broad daylight. In the wrong place at the wrong time, he’s kidnapped with her. Chained together, locked in the back of a stifling van, and racing across America to an unknown destination for an unknown purpose, they’re at the mercy of a group of men demanding an impossible ransom. Because this mysterious woman is worth more than Reacher ever suspected. Now he has to save them both—from the inside out—or die trying.

What the critics say

“Tough, elegant, and thoughtful.”—Robert B. Parker

“A riveting thriller, brought to life with well-observed detail and paced with taut, evocative prose. It’s a winner.”—Greg Iles

“A thoroughly engrossing tale told by an author who doesn’t miss a beat.” —Rocky Mountain News

“Child presents his tense, action-packed adventure in vivid prose, as lean and capable as his central character. Jack Reacher is not merely a terrific hero; he sets a new standard.”—Tom Savage

“Opens with a bang.”—Chicago Tribune

“A literate scenario-cum-thriller.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Lee Child’s knowledge of the modern military and its combat tactics amazed me. A chilling and all-too realistic story, and a damn good book.”—Steve Thayer

“[A] redoubtable yet romantic hero…[a] fast-paced misadventure...Cunning and explosive, it's a thumping good read.”—Time Out

“Furiously suspenseful.”—Kirkus Reviews

Good book, Glocks don't have safety switches. Not a big problem, just detail oriented, I guess.

Not the best narrator unfortunately. I found it really hard to listen to him. Good job it’s a good story and I forgot all about him

The plot is a typical Jack Reacher but the narration is a poor imitation of a Jimmy Cagney impression. I kept expecting to hear “You dirty rats..you’ll never take me alive”

I like the Jack Reacher novels but will not get another with this narrator.

This narrator should be informed that it is offensive to hear his white attempt at voicing a Chinese woman. This is the 21st century, McLean. The horrible French was almost as despicable. The story itself was good.

This non-Asian and non-French narrator should not mimic accents and learn how to pronounce French when reading French.
