With Reacher, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Lee Child has created “a series that stands in the front
rank of modern thrillers” (The Washington
Post).
Everything starts somewhere. . .
.
For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere
was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. A lonely
railroad track. A crime scene. A coverup.
A young
woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a
nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends
in Washington.
Reacher is ordered
undercover—to find out everything he can, to control
the local police, and then to vanish. Reacher is a good
soldier. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, he finds
layers no one saw coming, and the investigation spins out of
control.
Local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux has a thirst
for justice—and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain
they can trust one another, Reacher and Deveraux reluctantly
join forces. Reacher works to uncover the truth, while
others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to
shatter his faith in his mission, and turn him into a man to
be feared.
A novel of unrelenting suspense that could
only come from the pen of #1 New York Times
bestselling author Lee Child, The Affair is the start
of the Reacher saga, a thriller that takes Reacher—and his
readers—right to the edge . . . and beyond.
