1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Includes Lee Child’s short story “Not a Drill” and a sneak peek of his new novel, Make Me!“The indomitable Reacher burns up the pages.”—USA Today  Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, another telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And a hitchhiker with a broken nose. An hour behind them, the FBI descends on an old pumping station where a man was stabbed to death—the knife work professional, the killers nowhere to be seen.   All Jack Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy, in which nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth.  “Furious action . . .

[with] one of the best female characters in the whole Reacher series.”—The New York Times  “Subtle and nuanced [with] seductive writing and irresistible plot twists.”—NewsweekFrom the Paperback edition.
