"Hold on tight. This is No. 13 in Lee Child's action-packed series starring ex-military cop / pit bull Jack Reacher, and it may be the best.... This novel will give you whiplash as you rabidly turn pages packed with layers of intrigue, murder, deceit and mystery."

--USA Today

"Thriller fans like books that start on the first page. This newest page-turner from Lee Child starts with the first sentence...Child really is that good at heroic suspense writing."

--The Philadelphia Inquirer

New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn't. And if you think Reacher isn't going to get involved.., then you don't know Jack.

Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan--by dozens of people with one thing in common: They're all lying to Reacher. A littie. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan, a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.
