The Secret

The Secret by Lee Child and Andrew Child offers a thrilling continuation of the much-loved Jack Reacher series, promising a high-octane narrative that grips from the very first page.

Set in the gritty backdrop of Chicago in 1992, the story ignites with a mysterious incident in a hospital. A patient wakes to find two enigmatic strangers at his bedside. They present him with a perplexing list of names and pose a simple yet unfathomable question. Moments later, he tragically falls to his death from the twelfth floor, a plunge that attracts unexpected attention.

This disturbing event catches the eye of the Secretary of Defense, who promptly forms a specialised inter-agency task force to delve into the matter. Enter Jack Reacher, who has just been demoted from his Major rank. Now acting as the Army's representative, Reacher faces an immense challenge: uncovering the truth behind the death. Success would be a significant triumph; failure would render him a scapegoat.

Reacher’s investigative prowess is unparalleled, yet it’s his grit and determination that truly drive him. Office politics and bureaucratic red tape do not deter him; he is focused solely on bringing justice. As he hurtles through the maze of clues and false leads, Reacher must also contend with his new partners and their own agendas.

As he digs deeper, Reacher unearths a chilling secret that has been buried for 23 years. The narrative weaves through intricate plotlines and flashbacks, revealing layers of deceit and danger. Will Reacher resolve the mystery by abiding by the rules, or will he revert to his unorthodox methods to take down the perpetrators?

In The Secret, Lee Child and Andrew Child deliver a masterpiece of suspense, combining expertly crafted dialogue with relentless action. The result is a captivating read that showcases Jack Reacher at his finest—astute, resilient, and ever so relentless in his quest for justice.

Another good Reacher story

This book provides a bit of back story and is when Reacher was still in the military. Pretty good and definitely read if you are a Reacher fan but not the best in the series.
