DescriptionOne Shot by Lee Child is a masterful blend of suspense, action, and intrigue that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. In the heart of middle America, an ordinary town is shaken to its core when a lone gunman goes on a rampage in broad daylight, killing five people with six deadly shots. The city is paralysed with fear as the police scramble to make sense of the crime. In record time, they have a suspect in custody—a seemingly open-and-shut case. But things become decidedly complex when the accused perpetrator utters just one cryptic demand: "Get Jack Reacher for me."
Jack Reacher, a former military cop with a penchant for justice, leads a nomadic life, untethered to any place or person. Untraceable and always under the radar, he isn't looking for trouble, but trouble finds him nonetheless. Intrigued and compelled to uncover the truth, Reacher heeds the mysterious call. As he delves deeper into the case, he finds himself entangled in a web of deception, facing adversaries who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. But what could possibly link him, a virtuous wanderer, to the accused—a cold-blooded killer?
Renowned for its gripping narrative, One Shot has been celebrated as one of the fifty best crime novels of the past fifty years by The Times. The story is a razor-sharp mix of adrenaline-pumping action and clever twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Although each Jack Reacher novel can stand alone, One Shot is the ninth instalment in this highly acclaimed series. Fans and newcomers alike will be thrilled by Reacher's relentless pursuit of justice in this captivating addition to the saga.
And don't miss out on Jack Reacher's latest adventure in the series, In Too Deep! Pre-order your copy now and continue the exhilarating journey with one of fiction's most iconic heroes.
