Jack Reacher is at a sidewalk cafe in New York City, having
a cup of coffee, when he watches a man get into a car and
drive away. Just like that, Jack is sucked into a multiple
kidnapping, drawn into a battle of wills with a group of
mercenaries and, being the man that he is, must do
everything he can to figure out what's really going on. The
lives of a kidnapped woman and child depend on it.
Jack Reacher has never been in better form. Tough as nails,
yet with a full heart and the in-your-face attitude he's
famous for, Jack is back. And he means business. Thoroughly
enjoyable, THE HARD WAY had me hooked from page one. As
usual, Child's book made me think and had me, too,
wondering what was really going on. A very good read.
Ex-military cop Jack Reacher sees more than most people
would...and because of that, he's thrust into an explosive
situation that's about to blow up in his face. For the only
way to find the truth- and save two innocent lives- is to
do it the way Jack Reacher does it best: the hard way....
Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the
hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the
street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car
contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward
Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his
family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire
operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to
find his beautiful wife and child. And then he'll turn Jack
Reacher loose with a vengeance- because Reacher is the best
man hunter in the world.
On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning
the chilling secrets of his employer's past...and of a
horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He's
beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something.
Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows
this: he's already in way too deep to stop now.
