Blue Moon by Lee Child delivers yet another adrenaline-pumping thriller featuring the unbeatable Jack Reacher. In this riveting instalment, Reacher finds himself in a city without a name, where chaos reigns supreme, and two rival criminal gangs vie for dominance. Simply passing through, Reacher quickly realises that some random encounters can have fateful consequences. His keenly trained instincts kick in when he notices an elderly man on a Greyhound bus with a conspicuous envelope full of cash—a magnet for trouble.

Despite the old man's reluctance to accept help, Reacher steps in as a would-be mugger eyes the lifeline of cash. This incident plunges Reacher into a whirlwind of danger, as he discovers the elderly man is ensnared in a web of criminal activity far more sinister than he initially anticipated. Determined to protect the vulnerable and mete out justice, Reacher delves deeper, unearthing layers of corruption and violence within the gangs. His mission: to dismantle their grip on the innocent and restore some semblance of order—no small feat in a world where morality is often muddled, and danger lurks around every corner.

Blue Moon proves that Jack Reacher is not confined by limits; if anything, he is pushed harder and further. Each page bursts with tension, showcasing Child's mastery at creating white-knuckle suspense. Whether drawn by the complex characters, the intricacies of the plot, or the relentless action, readers will find Blue Moon to be utterly unputdownable. It's a vivid reminder of why Reacher, described by The Times as “the most reliable excellent basher of bad guys since Bond,” remains a beloved figure in contemporary thrillers.

Featured on Richard & Judy's 'Keep Reading and Carry On', Blue Moon is lauded as one of Child's best works. As The Times highlights, "This is one of his best," underscoring the book's critical acclaim and reader appreciation.

For fans of the Jack Reacher series, Blue Moon is a must-read, seamlessly blending heart-pounding action with a compelling narrative of justice. It's the 24th book in the series, but each novel stands on its own, ensuring both newcomers and long-time fans are in for a treat. And if you can't get enough of Reacher, look out for the newest adventure in the series, number 29, In Too Deep – available for pre-order now!

Prepare to be captivated by a story where right fights might, and Jack Reacher's brand of rough justice prevails against all odds. With a body count higher than ever, Blue Moon promises an exhilarating and satisfying read from start to finish.
