Summoned by Military
Intelligence to Washington, D.C., Reacher is sent undercover. The
assignment that awaits him: The army is meeting with its Capitol Hill
paymasters for classified talks on a new, state-of-the-art sniper rifle
for U.S. forces. But vital details about the weapon are leaking—straight
from the Capitol and probably into the hands of unidentified foreign
arms dealers. The prospect of any and every terrorist, mercenary, or
dictator’s militia getting their hands on the latest superior firepower
is unthinkable. That’s where Reacher comes in. His task: infiltrate the
top-secret proceedings and smoke out the mole. His target: a quartet of
high-powered Army political liaison officers—all of them fast-track
women on their way to the top.
According to his bosses, it’s a zero-danger mission. No need to draw a
gun . . . just chat over drinks. But Reacher knows that things are
rarely what they seem. And he’s learned the hard way never to
underestimate an opponent. Or four. Lessons that will come in handy when
he starts digging for the truth—and gets his hands a lot dirtier than
he expected.

through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for

anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of
convincing anyone. not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Get ready for the ultimate Jack Reacher reading experience. No
Middle Name includes eleven previously published stories and a thrilling
new novella. This pulse-pounding collection marks the first time that
all of Lee Child’s short fiction starring Reacher has been available in
the same place at the same time.
No Middle Name begins with Too Much Time, a
brand-new work of short fiction that finds Reacher in a hollowed-out
town in Maine, where he witnesses a random bag-snatching but sees much
more than a simple crime—a fact that could prove fatal.
Small Wars takes readers back to 1989, when Reacher is an MP
assigned to solve the brutal murder of a young officer found along an
isolated forest road in Georgia—and whose killer may be hiding in plain
sight.
In Not a Drill, Reacher tries to take some down time, but a
pleasant hike in Maine turns into a walk on the wild side—and perhaps
something far more sinister.
High Heat time hops to 1977, when Reacher is a teenager in
sweltering New York City during a sudden blackout that awakens the dark
side of the city that never sleeps.
Okinawa is the setting of Second Son, which reveals the pivotal moment when young Reacher’s sharp “lizard brain” becomes just as important as his muscle.
In Deep Down, Reacher tracks down a spy by matching wits with
four formidable females—three of which are clean, but the fourth may
prove fatal.
Rounding out the collection are Guy Walks into a Bar, James Penney’s New Identity, Everyone Talks, The Picture of the Lonely Diner, Maybe They Have a Tradition, and No Room at the Motel.
No suitcase. No destination. No middle name. No matter how far
Reacher travels off the beaten path, trouble always finds him. Feel bad
for trouble.

It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give
him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That
night he’s off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind.
Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst.
Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is
wondering what the hell they are doing there.
Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has
received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while
waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover
inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message:
“The American wants a hundred million dollars.”
For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to
find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked
with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than
one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don’t get
their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism.
From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves
like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked
identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside
the game and outside the law.

“Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher
wants to know. But no one will tell him. It’s a tiny place hidden in a
thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen
and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who
mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private
investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.
Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to
get there, and there’s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with
her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But
before long he’s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago,
Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the
internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way—right
back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must confront the
worst nightmare he could imagine.
Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me.

You can leave the army, but the army doesn’t leave you. Not always. Not completely,
notes Jack Reacher—and sure enough, the retired military cop is soon
pulled back into service. This time, for the State Department and the
CIA.
Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the City of
Light. The bullet was American. The distance between the gunman and the
target was exceptional. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters
of a mile with total confidence? Very few, but John Kott—an American
marksman gone bad—is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison,
he’s out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a G8 summit
packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin.
If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Reacher.
And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with Casey Nice, a
rookie analyst who keeps her cool with Zoloft. But they’re facing a
rough road, full of ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls,
double-crosses—and no backup if they’re caught. All the while Reacher
can’t stop thinking about the woman he once failed to save. But he won’t
let that that happen again. Not this time. Not Nice.
Reacher never gets too close. But now a killer is making it personal.

In this short story from Lee Child, Jack Reacher is again on the
move. But even a pleasant hike on a beautiful summer day turns into a
walk on the wild side . . . and perhaps something far more sinister.
Jack Reacher is on the road, hitching a ride with some earnest young
Canadians who are planning a hike through some of the last unspoiled
wilderness in North America in the dense forests of Maine. They part
ways after sharing a hot meal, and Reacher checks out a quiet town
surrounded by countryside serene enough to cool even his raging
wanderlust. But not for long. First the trail is suddenly and
inexplicably closed. Then the military police show up in force. Maybe
it’s a drill. Or maybe it’s trouble—the kind of trouble that always
finds Reacher, no matter how far he travels off the beaten path.

After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of
South Dakota, Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His

Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner.
He liked her voice on the phone. But the officer sitting behind
Reacher’s old desk isn’t a woman. Why is Susan Turner not there?

your ass is mine.’

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man
driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that
don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her,
a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia.
An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping
station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He
has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished.
Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends,
laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was
there.

his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has
tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat—to both
sides at once.

“Compulsively readable.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Don’t pick up [this] Jack Reacher novel if you don’t have some time on your hands, because Worth Dying For is difficult to put down. . . . Child manages to get an amazing amount of suspense into the novel.”—Associated Press
There’s deadly trouble in the corn county of Nebraska . . . and Jack
Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local
clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the
unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can’t let go.
The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re
trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the
bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For
Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance
between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him.
For Reacher, that was also impossible.

Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve
miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It’s not in his
nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So
in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher—a man with no fear, no
illusions, and nothing to lose—goes to war against a town that not only
wants him gone, it wants him dead.
It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through,
minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is
in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of
operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial
site does something nobody is supposed to see . . . where a small plane
takes off every night and returns seven hours later . . . where a
garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops—the kind of
soldiers Reacher once commanded—waits and watches . . . where above all
two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and
hope for their return.
Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand,
Reacher goes up against Despair—against the deputies who try to break
him and the rich man who tries to scare him—and starts to crack open the
secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war
that’s killing Americans by the thousand.
Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his
conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch.
