Better Off Dead
Reacher never backs down from a problem.
And he's about to find a big one, on a deserted Arizona road, where a Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. Under the merciless desert sun, nothing is as it seems.
Minutes later Reacher is heading into the nearby border town, a backwater that has seen better days.

Description
Better Off Dead by Lee Child and Andrew Child showcases Jack Reacher in a new, intense adventure that fans of high-octane thrillers won't want to miss. Reacher is traversing a desolate Arizona road when he stumbles upon an eerily abandoned Jeep, the only vehicle for miles, ominously crashed into a solitary tree. Under the unforgiving desert sun, the scene is shrouded in mystery. Moments later, Reacher heads into a nearby border town, a place scarred by decline and secrecy.
In this dilapidated town, Reacher meets Michaela Fenton, a resilient army veteran turned FBI agent. Michaela is on a desperate search for her twin brother, who may have entangled himself with a dangerous and clandestine network. Effectively, Reacher's path is paved with peril as he decides to assist Michaela in her quest.
The closer he gets to the truth, the more perilous the journey becomes. Their adversary, a formidable leader named Dendoncker, controls the town with a tight fist and an iron will. To confront this mystery man, Reacher will need to surmount impossible odds, blending tactics and brute force in his inimitable style.
As Reacher delves deeper, the sinister traps set by Dendoncker’s underlings reveal how fiercely they guard their secrets, even at the cost of their lives. Yet, one thing is certain: if Jack Reacher is on your trail, you would indeed be better off dead.
While the Jack Reacher novels can be enjoyed independently of one another, Better Off Dead is the 26th instalment in this internationally acclaimed series. Jack Reacher’s latest escapade, number 29, In Too Deep, will also be available for pre-order soon, promising even more riveting thrills. Don't miss out on the continuation of Reacher's legendary saga.
