A man just like Jack Reacher. ‘Reacher is as dyed-in-the-wool an American action man as Hollywood could hope for…manages that tough trick of seeming at once battle-hardened, footloose, sexy and compassionate: the sort of ladies’ man that Peter Millar, The Times - Peter Millar, The Times ‘Within a short space of time, Child has gleaned enviable recognition for his tautly written thrillers…This tale will ensure that many a train stop is missed’ - The Good Book Guide ‘In three novels Lee Child has established a franchise with his maverick drifter, the ex-US military cop Jack Reacher, and shown that, for an Englishman, he can produce passable American. His fourth, The Visitor, offers an efficient mix of hard-boiled style with lots of lip and a revivial of the classic locked-room mystery…Tight plotting, pace and high mileage’ - Chris Petit, Guardian ‘Relentlessly fast-paced and beautifully structured…Amply fulfils the promise of its predecessors. Reacher is the sort of hero no woman could help falling for, and he looks destined to have a very long life’ - Daily Mail ‘A thumping good read…This is an excellent thriller of the Patricia Cornwell variety. Gripping and well-constructed…Impossible to put down’ - Frances Fyfield, Daily Express
