Editor reviews

Winner of Specsavers National Book Awards 2012 for Crime Thriller of the Year, the legend that is Jack Reacher is back in the unabridged audiobook A Wanted Man, Book 17 in the incredibly popular Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child and narrated by Jeff Harding. Jack Reacher gets into the wrong car at the wrong time. At first he thinks its coincidence, then the chilling clues all point towards the people in the car knowing exactly who he is. Danger lurks in every corner of this story and the hero we know so well will face his biggest challenge yet. Available now from Audible.

Summary

Winner: Crime & Thriller of the Year – Specsavers National Book Awards 2012

When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly-set, freshly-busted nose patched with silver duct tape - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. But Reacher has some unfinished business in Virginia, so he doesn't quit. And at last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. But within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and then they run into a police roadblock on the highway. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys....

Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy?

With his signature Swiss-watch plotting and heart-thumping suspense, A Wanted Man shows Lee Child at his sublimely skilful best.

Critic reviews

“He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town” ( Sun)

a good listen

I listened to this over a period of a couple of days whilst doing a long trip. It kept my interest and had a good story line. some descriptions went on a bit and the ending was a bit strange - lots of loose ends for a follow up book no doubt...

Great pace

Really enjoyed this story. It was fast paced and didn't feel the need to explain every plot detail along the way to allow the reader some inference and keep you guessing. Performance was also good.

A man for all readers

Lee Child is one of those exceptional writers who writes for all types of reader, whether its action & adventure, horror or romance. He has everything covered and it does not put you off when for example you want to be reading a spy thriller he has it in spades, but he also puts in a little romance for our hero and he really seems to fall in love with every leading lady instead of the love em and leave em James Bond. I am so excited that et are finally putting jack reacher (our somewhat tarnished hero) onto the silver screen as it will bring a whole new readership to the books.
