From a helicopter high above the empty California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night…. In Chicago, a woman learns that an elite team of ex–army investigators is being hunted down one by one.... And on the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher—soldier, cop, hero—is pulled out of his wandering life by a code that few other people could understand. From the first shocking scenes in Lee Child’s explosive new novel, Jack Reacher is plunged like a knife into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends…and is on its way to something even worse.

A decade postmilitary, Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on his back—no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a woman from his old unit has done the impossible. From Chicago, Frances Neagley finds Reacher, using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying story—about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his old team, scrambling to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a mystery that is growing darker by the day. The deeper they dig, the more they don’t know: about two other comrades who have suddenly gone missing—and a trail that leads into the neon of Vegas and the darkness of international terrorism.

For now, Reacher can only react. To every sound. Every suspicion. Every scent and every moment. Then Reacher will trust the people he once trusted with his life—and take this thing all the way to the end. Because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they’d better be ready for what comes right back at them…

  • BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE

    Lee Child’s enigmatic drifter hero, ex-military cop Jack Reacher, has been described as the modern day equivalent of the lone Western gunman, riding into town to sort out the bad guys and then disappearing into the sunset leaving a line of fresh-dug ... (read full critics)

  • Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child

    The motto of Jack Reacher’s Army unit was “you do not mess with the special investigators.” In classic “they never listen” style, the bad guys in Bad Luck and Trouble do a lot of messing. What are the chances that Reacher is going to let them get awa ... (read full critics)

  • I like Jack Reacher.
    This is not one of my favourite ones, but it's good to see him with his old mates, and to meet Neagley again.

  • "Reacher said nothing"

    Mr. Child must have a macro on his word processor that types that phrase. It must appear at least 30 times in every Reacher novel. It really has become part of the charm of the series...kind of an inside joke between him and his readers. And sometimes other characters also get to say nothing ;-)

    This is the latest in the Jack Reacher series. He is an ex Military Cop that is now a part time drifter carrying nothing but some cash and a fold up tooth brush. Someone is killing his old team and Jack aims to find out who! This is more of the same, if you have read the other books from Lee Childs, with the no nonsense jack causing mayhem and using a sledge hammer where a feather might have done. I find it hard to put these books down as Jack, for all his Quirks and brutality, is a modern day hero!
