An unusually political novel, this is as gripping and readable as any in the Reacher series.

It's a testament to Lee Child's superb story-telling skills that...the interest doesn't flag for an instant...Like Reacher, Child doesn't do things by halves.

—— Yorkshire Evening Post

Gripping and addictive...Reacher's stripped-down life is echoed by Lee Child's lean and spare prose.
