A Wanted Man

The taut new thriller from the Sunday Times and New York Times number one bestseller, winner of the Specsavers Crime & Thriller Book of the Year.

A Wanted Man is a riveting instalment in Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, brimming with suspense, intriguing characters, and unexpected twists. When we find Reacher stranded on the side of the road in the vast, desolate stretches of Nebraska, he's sporting a freshly busted nose and a ruggedly imposing presence that doesn't easily attract a ride. Finally, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and one woman. However, it quickly becomes evident that his new companions are lying about everything.

As they head towards a police roadblock, the tension escalates. There's been an incident, and the authorities are hunting for the perpetrators. Now, the trio, along with Reacher, must confront the imminent obstacle. The pressing question isn't just whether they will get through the roadblock, but why Reacher has been roped into this dangerous situation. Are the passengers innocent, or has Reacher unwittingly become part of something much more sinister? Is he merely being used as a decoy, or is there a deeper game at play?

This high-octane thriller is packed with Child's trademark gripping action sequences, razor-sharp dialogue, and complex plotting. Each twist propels Reacher deeper into a web of deceit and peril, drawing the reader into a world where nothing is as it seems. The relentless pace and intelligence of Child’s writing make A Wanted Man a page-turner of the highest calibre.

Though the Jack Reacher novels can be enjoyed in any order, A Wanted Man follows directly from the end of Worth Dying For, making it a compelling continuation for those keen to follow Reacher's journey from one book to the next.

And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, number 27, No Plan B, which is out now!
