About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An original short story about Jack Reacher, available as a separate audiobook (also included in the complete Reacher story collection No Middle Name).

Early in his military career, Jack Reacher is ordered undercover in Washington, to discover which one of four women, all staff officers on fast track careers, is leaking secrets.

The suggested method: get close to each in turn.

The obvious problem: the most receptive will be the guilty one, with an agenda of her own ... to kill the investigation - and the investigator.

‘Child has somehow forged that magical grail: a new and believable hero... when we thought all the heroes had been written.’ Observer

…but still the usual Reacher style. Amazing story telling, Lee Child can seemingly do no wrong!

I would have loved this to have been a full blown novel, but as a novella, it had the right pace & intrigue, and ultimately an enjoyable ending! (I do miss the 'old' Reacher though.

Enjoy!

Not the usual Reacher Voice…

Always enjoyed Lee Child. Unfortunately this one short two dimensional and unmemorable. One of his earlier works?

Not up to Reacher Standards?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Again a great smart, easy, enjoyable listen to and a quick read/listen. Great book one you can enjoy before delving into a longer read.

Cracking short story

another brilliant story

Lee Child Reacher books are the best, I didn't like the guy reading this book, others have done better. This guy didn't understand Reacher character so could not portray him accurately.

love reacher, didn't like the reader
