Echo Burning, another heart-stopping page-turner from the number one bestseller Lee Child, features the enigmatic and relentless Jack Reacher. Amidst the hellish heat of a Texas summer, Reacher finds himself adrift and in search of a ride through the vast, empty landscape. Fate intervenes when a young, rich, and beautiful woman named Carmen stops to offer him a lift.

Carmen is desperate and her story is one of imminent danger and murder. Her husband, a violent man currently in prison, is about to be released, and he has declared his intent to kill her. Adding to her peril, Carmen's family is hostile, the local police are untrustworthy, and the lawyers are unhelpful. She finds herself ensnared in a menacing web of lies, prejudice, hatred, and murder. Driven by an innate sense of justice and an irresistible urge to help a damsel in distress, Reacher agrees to protect her.

Complete with crackling fast dialogue, an edgy and ambivalent plot, Echo Burning showcases Child's unparalleled ability to keep readers glued to the page. The Daily Mail praises it as "Child's breakthrough book into the mega-sellers. He is that good."

While each Jack Reacher novel can be enjoyed as a standalone, Echo Burning is the fifth book in this gripping series. Don't miss out on Reacher's latest thrilling adventure, number 29, In Too Deep, available for pre-order now!

Lee Child is the number one Sunday Times bestseller as of April 2024.
