FIVE MEN. ONE ROBBERY. A DEADLY GAME OF GREED.
Fresh out of the SAS, Matt Browning is down on his luck. He owes $500,000. If he doesn't get the money soon, he dies.
From nowhere, he is offered a lifeline. A hit on al-Queda, sanctioned and helped by MI5.
Matt gathers a small team of former SAS men to steal $10 million in gold and diamonds from the world's most deadly terrorist organisation. MI5 will give them all the equipment and information they need. No charges will ever be pressed.
Matt thinks it's the perfect crime. Safe, quick, and patriotic. But after the money is stolen, the killing starts... Someone is taking down the members of the team one by one.
A silent, expert assassin is stalking the team, gruesomely murdering both them and their families. And Matt knows that he's next.
Hard as nails
—— MirrorThe SAS is to Chris Ryan what horse racing is to Dick Francis
—— Boys ToysBone-crunching action-tough and fast-moving
—— AmazonSlick, polished and gut-wrenching stuff
—— Irish TimesChock full of military fat to chew on...will keep you awake until dawn
—— FHMThrough the quality of her writing she's raised the game of the crime novel in this country
—— Peter JamesRendell's mesmerising capacity to shock, chill and disturb is unmatched
—— The TimesChild spins a great yarn, his descriptive powers are austere yet glorious... He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town. All without untying his hands. The Reacher novels are literary beat-'em-ups for the pre-console generation. They are, like the hero, simply irresistible
—— SunAs always with Child, the hook is smart, the plot possibilities are given a thorough workout, and the tension bites as hard as the South Dakota windchill
—— Christopher Fowler , Financial TimesA storyteller who knows a lot about style... Watching the clock underscores the tension that Child builds so well. You do and you don't want it all to end
—— Sydney Morning HeraldLee Child certainly knows by now how to screw up the tension with excruciating precision, but here excels himself with a beautifully paced tale that leaves the reader breathless with suspense as the final hours tick away
—— Irish IndependentCraftiest and most highly evolved of Lee Child's electrifying Jack Reacher books... That legend of a tough, cerebral drifter, a latter-day 6-foot-5-inch cowboy... has now taken on a life of its own... The truth about Reacher gets better and better
—— Janet Maslin , The New York TimesA Hitchockian escalation of tension... brings to mind another iconic Jack (Bauer, from the TV series 24)... works disturbingly well
—— Daily TelegraphThe writing's superb, and the plot's gripping and completely believable. A real page-turner
—— News of the WorldA powerhouse of tension and nail-biting suspense... an excellent and masterful work of fiction
—— Catholic HeraldIt would be foolish to call 61 Hours the best Reacher adventure yet, since they're all excellent... just that bit more thrilling than some of the others... another gripping, cunningly constructed, compellingly written thriller
