Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher, the charismatic hero of Lee Child's Die Trying and Killing Floor, returns to defend a lost man's honor, in the third installment of this critically acclaimed thriller series.

In Tripwire, Reacher's lazy anonymity in Key West is shattered by a stranger who comes to town searching for him. Hours after his arrival, the stranger turns up beaten to death, and Reacher follows the man's trail back to New York to find the people who dispatched him in the first place: an elderly couple still mourning a son lost in Vietnam; an alluring woman from Reacher's own past; and at the center of the web, the most vicious opponent Reacher has ever faced.

Lee Child confirms his early acclaim with this new tale, as swift and stylish as any suspense novel written today.
