Never Go Back

Never Go Back

(Jack Reacher 18)

Summary

'FAST-PACED, TAUT AND PUNCHY' Sunday Times

After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota, Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His destination, the closest thing to a home he ever had: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th Military Police.

Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. He liked her voice on the phone. But now he's arrived, she's disappeared, and things are getting weird.

Accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide and co-opted back into the army, Reacher says nothing.

But he's sure as hell thinking of a way out.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Never Go Back follows on directly from the end of A Wanted Man.

And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***OUT NOW***

Reviews

  • The bone-crunching, joint-popping action is as technically precise and primevally satisfying as ever. The extra-lean prose is as ruthlessly linear as the plot…[However,]Lee Child proves he can write about emotions other than lust and anger and reveals his hero to be more than just a man of steel. Eighteen novels in, his franchise shows no sign of running out of steam.
