Description
Past Tense by Lee Child is a gripping addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling Jack Reacher series, renowned for its heart-pounding suspense that has inspired two major motion pictures and an upcoming streaming series. The novel unfolds with Reacher, ever the wanderer, hitchhiking his way across America. His journey is meant to be straightforward, a path from the rugged coastlines of Maine to the sunlit shores of California. However, fate intervenes on a secluded country road in the dense wilderness of New England.
Stumbling upon a sign for a town that whispers of his past—his father's birthplace—Reacher's curiosity piques. What harm could there be in indulging a personal detour for just one extra day? As Reacher steps into the town, shadows of family mysteries emerge, entwined with troubling revelations. When he inquires at the city clerk's office about his ancestral home, the answer is both shocking and bewildering: no records show a Reacher ever residing there. With his father's history cast in doubt, Jack is compelled to dig deeper, asking the uneasy question: was his father ever truly part of this place?
Meanwhile, the narrative interweaves with that of two young Canadians whose car has inconveniently broken down in the same remote area. En route to New York City to exchange a valuable possession, their journey takes a sinister turn as they find themselves marooned at a desolate motel. The hospitality of the motel's proprietors feels exaggeratedly warm, setting a chilling tone as something ominous lurks beneath the surface.
Amidst these intricate tales of discovery and peril, Reacher embarks on an exploration that uncovers far more than he anticipated. Each revelation brings him closer to a disturbing truth about his lineage, as fragmented plots converge in a suspenseful crescendo. The journey becomes a stark reminder that while the present is fraught with challenges, it is the past that often harbours the most daunting revelations. As Reacher delves into these familial labyrinths, he uncovers that the past can be tense indeed—and lethally so.
This thrilling novel is an exemplification of Lee Child's mastery of suspense. It blends action, drama, and profound mystery, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page. Additionally, this edition includes a sneak peek at Lee Child’s next thrilling novel, Blue Moon, offering an enticing glimpse into yet another chapter of intrigue featuring Jack Reacher.
