After nine well-received Jack Reacher novels in as many years, Lee Child has established his best-selling series on a firm foundation. Readers can pick up any of the books and have a good idea of what to expect. They know Reacher will perform daring<b> acts of bravery</b> and feats of <b>deductive brilliance</b>.They can expect to find a little humor, a little sex, and the<b> best action scenes</b> in the business. <i>The Hard Way</i> is a <b>straight-ahead, high-octane</b> thriller that drops the reader down in the middle of the story and keeps you turning the pages until the plot speeds to its <b>thrilling </b>conclusion.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Nine <b>red-hot </b>books ago, Lee Child concocted the <b>rough, tough Superman </b>of the crime-busting genre, as smart and charismatic as he is <b>unbeatable</b>. And then Mr. Child broke the mold...Reacher returns in this series' 10th installment, <i>The Hard Way</i>. Reading Mr. Child is not only a<b> mentally transporting</b> experience but also, at times, a <b>physical</b> one. Don't be surprised to find your hand replicating the finger movements that tip off Reacher to a keypad matrix's four-digit combination.
