Die Trying

Brought to you by Penguin.

Die Trying is the second book in Lee Child's internationally popular Jack Reacher series, read by Jeff Harding.

Jack Reacher, alone, strolling nowhere.

A Chicago street in bright sunshine. A young woman, struggling on crutches. Reacher offers her a steadying arm.

And turns to see a handgun aimed at his stomach.

Chained in a dark van racing across America, Reacher doesn't know why they've been kidnapped. The woman claims to be FBI. She's certainly tough enough. But at their remote destination, will raw courage be enough to overcome the hopeless odds?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, Die Trying is the second in the series.

Reviews

Jack Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero; tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable... Irresistible

—— People

Reacher combines the physique of the Commando-period Schwarzenegger with the analytical brilliance of Sherlock Holmes

—— Himself Magazine

The taut plot, set firmly in headline territory, lays bare the world of the rabid, worm-like militias crawling in the political underbelly of America... This is an action adventure that never gives you a moment's peace and quiet - an excellent read

—— Publishing News

Cunning and explosive...A thumping good read

—— Time Out

A skilled, smart, violent page-turner

—— Daily Express

The book is beautifully written, with just the right balance of teasing the reader with clues and hitting them with revelations

—— Best Crime Fiction of 2015, The Telegraph on The Boy That Never Was

Like Gone Girl . . . It's the most gripping thing I've read for ages

—— Evening Standard

A truly remarkable novel ...Written in a captivating, lyrical style and brilliantly structured, the story grips your heart from the first pages and simply never lets go

—— Jeffery Deaver

This is an intense and subtle story with some wonderfully poetic passages and a character driven plot which becomes more compelling as the sense of momentum gathers and the true version of events is slowly revealed. Gripping stuff

—— Sunday Mirror

Girl Unknown is one of the most richly satisfying psychological thrillers of 2016, a book that hooks the reader from the first page

—— The Irish Independent

Gripping, powerfully compelling debut

—— Daily Express

Waits’ first fictional outing is a shadowy, disturbing narrative and once you start reading it’s hard to resist the call. Sirens is the best British crime debut of the last five years.

—— Crimescene Magazine

A fierce, assured and utterly compelling debut . . . A Ross MacDonald for the 21st century.

—— Stav Sherez

Great read. A powerful piece of Manchester noir, brutal, poignant and dark as tar.

—— Cath Staincliffe

Fresh and darkly stylish, Sirens is a striking debut that marks the arrival of a major new crime writing talent.

—— Chris Ewan

Sirens immediately feels like a classic, not a debut . . . a book for every crime fan.

—— Julia Heaberlin, author of Black Eyed Susans

An amazing thriller. Sexy, stylish suspense.

—— A. A. Dhand

A dark, dangerous noir, Sirens will be one of 2017’s smash hit debuts.

—— Nick Quantrill

A down and dirty slice of Manchester noir . . . Impressively bleak.

—— Shots Magazine

Page-turner is the only word for it.

—— Press Association

Brooding, blistering. Sirens is a remarkable literary thriller, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and James Lee Burke

—— A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
