Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Personal, a gripping thriller by Lee Child, plunges readers into a high-stakes world of international espionage and danger. The plot unfolds with a daring assassination attempt on the French president. As world leaders gather for an upcoming G8 summit, the looming threat of another strike is palpable. The shooter is believed to be John Kott, a former U.S. Army marksman who has recently been freed after fifteen years behind bars. Infamous for his unparalleled precision, Kott poses a serious threat to global peace and stability.

Enter Jack Reacher, the only man capable of matching Kott's skill and determination. Previously, Reacher had successfully brought Kott to justice, and now, with the clock ticking down to the summit, Reacher is called upon once again to prevent disaster. As someone who values his independence, Reacher is reluctant to accept a partner, yet he finds himself teamed with Casey Nice, a talented but inexperienced analyst. Together, they must navigate through a landscape riddled with local criminals, betrayals, and an absence of backup, knowing full well that any misstep could have catastrophic consequences.

The stakes have never been higher for Reacher, and the personal history with Kott transforms this mission into something far deeper than a mere professional obligation. The novel unfolds with relentless tension, peppered with Lee Child's signature blend of action, suspense, and mind-twisting plot developments that keep readers on the edge of their seats.

This edition also includes the bonus short story "Not a Drill," offering further insight into the mind and methods of Jack Reacher.
Don't miss the thrilling streaming series Reacher, inspired by the bestsellers.

Personal was lauded by critics and readers alike, earning praise for its engaging narrative and intricate character development. Stephen King hailed it as “The best one yet.” With its compelling convergence of personal vendetta and international intrigue, Personal solidifies Lee Child's reputation as a master of the thriller genre.
