The Soul Collectors

'One of the best thriller writers working today'

Lee Child

'Chris Mooney is an exceptional thriller writer. I envy those who have yet to read him'

John Connolly

By the time you read this, I'll be missing or dead. Whatever you do, don't come looking for me. They're experts at hiding things: the living and the dead. And the truth.

Ten years ago CSI Darby McCormick investigated a child abduction case. Today, the missing child - Charlie Rizzo - is back from the dead and holding his family hostage. His only demand: bring me Darby McCormick.

Where has Charlie been all these years? And what is the secret he'll only tell Darby in person?

A terrible conspiracy is unravelling. One even the FBI are running scared from. If Darby doesn't lose her life, she fears that she will lose not only her mind, but her soul...

One of the genre's most enduring heroes. Tough, solitary, righteous and incorruptible, [Reacher] harks back to another great fictional detective, Philip Marlowe.

—— Glasgow Herald

A new Jack Reacher novel arrives as the year's first red-hot beach book...the success of these books rests partly on the big, hulking shoulders of their charismatic hero...one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape.

This haunting, stand-alone novel is a subtler work than Child's previous output and offers a sensitively handled romantic sub-plot to boot.

—— Daily Telegraph

Child presses all the buttons... Another awesome performance

Brings a shock of moral horror that is unprecedented in Reacher novels

A turbo-charged page-flipper: you're on page 300 before you take a breath...Child is a master of distances, spaces and the physics of opposing forces
