Get ready for the most exhilarating countdown of your life with Lee Child's gripping thriller, 61 Hours. Winner of the prestigious Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year prize and selected by the Sunday Times as one of the 50 best crime/thrillers of the last five years, this novel features the gallant and enigmatic loner Jack Reacher as he faces one of his most intense challenges yet.

61 Hours begins amidst the icy winter of South Dakota. A bus skids and crashes during a gathering storm, and on the back seat is Jack Reacher, hitching a ride to nowhere. His life free of baggage affords him many freedoms, but also severe disadvantages, like being confronted with arctic cold without so much as a coat. Reacher's journey is abruptly interrupted, and he finds himself in the middle of a life-threatening situation.

The small town Reacher finds himself stranded in is under siege from sinister forces. A brave woman stands up for justice, her life hanging by a thread as she awaits to testify. With a relentless killer coming for her, she is in desperate need of help, and Reacher is just the man for the job. His inherent sense of right and wrong propels him into action, despite the impossibly dangerous odds.

As time ticks away, the tension mounts. With each passing hour, the stakes rise, leading to a nerve-shredding climax. Has Reacher finally met his match? He doesn't aim to put the world to rights; he simply cannot abide those who do wrong. In a heart-pounding race against time, Reacher must outwit a cunning adversary and protect the innocent.

If you are new to the Jack Reacher series or a long-time fan, 61 Hours offers a standalone pulse-pounding experience. However, for those who seek seamless continuity, this novel's thrilling conclusion carries directly into the next instalment, Worth Dying For.

Don't miss out on Reacher's newest adventure in book number 26, Better Off Dead, available now and ready to deliver more heart-stopping action!
