Make me (with bonus short story small wars): a jack reacher novel - lee child

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, AND SUSPENSE MAGAZINE - Stephen King calls Jack Reacher the coolest continuing series character--and now hes back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child.

Why is this town called Mothers Rest? Thats all Reacher wants to know.

But no one will tell him.

Its a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.

Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and theres something about Chang .

so he teams up with her and starts to ask around.

He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long hes plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way--right back to where he started, in Mothers Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine.

Walking away would have been easier.

But as always, Reachers rule is: If you want me to stop, youre going to have to make me.

Praise for Make Me Childs Reacher series has hit Book No.

20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee.

Everything about it, starting with Reachers nose for bad news, is as strong as ever.

The big guys definitely on the upswing.

The guy who writes about him is too.
