Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!

A string of mysterious deaths. A long-classified mission. A young MP with nothing to lose.

1992. All across the United States respectable, upstanding citizens are showing up dead. These deaths could be accidents, and they don’t appear to be connected—until a fatal fall from a high-floor window attracts some unexpected attention.

That attention comes from the secretary of defense. All of a sudden he wants an interagency task force to investigate. And he wants Jack Reacher as the army’s representative. If Reacher gets a result, great. If not, he’s a convenient fall guy.

But office politics isn’t Reacher’s thing. Three questions quickly emerge: Who’s with him, who’s against him, and will the justice he dispenses be the official kind . . . or his own kind?

I’m a sucker for all things Reacher

Hell I even believed Tom Cruse as a 5’ Reacher

Looking forward to the next
novel. More math

Good story surprise ending

I enjoyed the book. However I was a little confused because I thought Reacher was not in the Army anymore

Wrong narrator

I agree with other fans who are not pleased with Scott Bricks’ performance. Overplayed and over exaggerated for any Reacher story…. maybe a good thing for other stories but not for Reacher.

I miss Dick Hill.

The Reacher series is one of my all time favs. However, I miss Dick Hill’s performance and narration. Scott Brick just doesn’t do it for me.

Scott Brick was great! Infinitely better than Dick Hill.

This was a really good story that held my interest and had a plot that kept you wondering instead of being obvious. Scott Brick did a really great job reading it as I think he always does. I found Dick Hill bland and flat, forcing me to read Lee Child and Michael Connelly novels that he performed in print instead of on audiobooks. Scott Brick’s style is much more compatible with this story.

Horribly written

This was a huge disappointment. Too many characters, poorly written, hard to follow on Audible and will try to get my request back. Waste of time.

Narration not my favorite

I like the story line but I often had trouble distinguishing the male characters specifically due to the narrator using the same tone. Not a fan of Scott Bricks narration.

Greatly prefer Dick Hills narrative

I have listened to all Jack reacher series, and greatly prefer Dick Hill!
Scott Bricks performance is better suited for Clive Cussler.

Good Secret

I enjoyed the change of pace this book brought. Love that it was from Reacher’s time as an MP. Had a good story with the past catching up to the present. I also liked the little task force that Reacher is assigned to with each member from a different agency. Reminded me of ‘Night School’ just a little bit on that note. Very fun and entertaining read!
