Description
Without Fail thrusts the indomitable Jack Reacher into a high-stakes mission that propels him to the heart of political intrigue. Reacher, a former MP with nothing to tie him down, roams the United States with no job, no identification, and no specific destination. Living off the grid is his modus operandi, yet he's drawn to situations where justice is needed. When a woman serving at the highest levels of the US government tracks him down, he cannot refuse the call to action.
The Vice President of the United States is under threat. This woman, who turns out to be an agent tasked with the Vice President's protection, is desperate and in need of Reacher’s unparalleled skills. A plot against the VP's life has been uncovered, and she believes that only Reacher's unorthodox methods can thwart the imminent danger. With no apparent motive or clear suspects, Reacher must navigate a web of deceit, political manoeuvring, and deadly implications.
As Reacher delves deeper, he confronts a formidable adversary who is as cunning and ruthless as anyone he has faced before. The action unfolds with Lee Child’s signature suspense, filled with nerve-wracking twists and stark realism.
This sixth instalment in the Jack Reacher series, Without Fail, is a thriller that masterfully combines pulse-pounding action with a compelling narrative. As always, Reacher operates by his own set of rules, bringing justice in his uniquely blunt and effective style. Lee Child has created a modern-day knight-errant whose adventures are a testament to bravery and the relentless pursuit of truth.
Although each Jack Reacher novel stands independently, Without Fail offers a deeper glimpse into the enigmatic character’s resourcefulness and moral code. New readers and long-time fans alike will find themselves wholly engrossed.
Don't miss the latest installment of Jack Reacher's adventures. Book number 27, No Plan B, is out now, continuing the saga of one of fiction's most compelling heroes.
'Lee Child's protagonist, Jack Reacher, is a hero in the Dirty Harry style, a man who lives by his own principles . . . Produces a surprising twist when it's least expected.' – Sunday Telegraph
