Über diesen Titel

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

“A perfect example of Lee Child’s talent . . . This is not just a good story; it is a story with a purpose and a message.”—Huffington Post

Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop window: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is tiny, for a woman, and it has her initials engraved on the inside. Reacher wonders what unlucky circumstance made her give up something she earned over four hard years. He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. Why not?

So begins a harrowing journey that takes Reacher through the upper Midwest, from a lowlife bar on the sad side of small town to a dirt-blown crossroads in the middle of nowhere, encountering bikers, cops, crooks, muscle, and a missing persons PI who wears a suit and a tie in the Wyoming wilderness.

The deeper Reacher digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain. Powerful forces are guarding a vast criminal enterprise. Some lines should never be crossed. But then, neither should Reacher.

Kritikerstimmen

“Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap it up. Love it . . . Here, there is something subversive as well as page-turning. . . . I don’t know another author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all.”The Times

“Reacher is the purest distillation of the white knight in contemporary mystery fiction. This novel is a tightly plotted ride with characters who will break your heart and linger after you close the book.”Mystery Scene

“Reacher [is] one of the most alluring and popular characters in contemporary fiction. . . . As always in a Child novel, pace is fast, twists and turns surprise, characters are well-developed, dialogue is exactly right, and the plot is very plausible. . . . Highly entertaining . . . This one is among the best [in the series]. It doesn’t matter in what order you read them since each stands entirely on its own.”The Washington Times

“A timely, affecting, suspenseful and morally complex thriller. . . . One of the best thrillers I’ve read this year.”The Washington Post

“Jack Reacher has become arguably the most iconic fictional hero we have.”Men’s Health

“Compelling and moving . . . bold and mysterious.”Associated Press

“This, Child’s twenty-second book in the series, has heart to spare, and it proves the franchise has plenty of gas left in its tank.”Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Compulsively readable.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“[A] multifaceted novel about dealing with the unthinkable . . . It’s automatic: Reacher gets off a bus, and Child lands on the New York Times bestseller list.”Booklist

“The book is very smart . . . [and] suggests something that has not been visible in the series’ previous entries: a creeping sadness in Reacher’s wanderings that, set here among the vast and empty landscapes of Wyoming, resembles the peculiarly solitary loneliness of the classic American hero. This return to form is also a hint of new ground to be covered.”Kirkus Reviews

“Child does a stellar job this time by not following his customary formula; his usually stoic hero who rarely displays softness and compassion is hit hard emotionally by this case.”’Library Journal (starred review)

Another american Superhero Looks after a heroin addicted vereran after she sold a Westpoint ring to a pawn shop.

When the Super Hero find out about it, he has fistfights with 100s of People which he always wins. The Sujet is set in todays America within the heroin crisis, the biggest mess up of the FDA, which makes the Contergan crisis look easy.

But the Story is slow, unrealistic an to be frank, boring. I did not like it. It was ok for my Walking exercises but really not much more.

Not my book

With the ‘The Midnight Line' Lee Child brings back the Reacher, we fell in love with. I was ready to give up on him during the last couple of books, which appeared to me flat and construed, but the new book surprised me. It is not just the reappearance of the old Reacher, powerful, stubborn and self-assured, who will set out to put things right against all odds, but also the haunting and evocative storyline resonated strongly with me. It is an emotional story, deeply moving with a strong message. It is a story about forgotten heroes and society’s indifference and neglect.

In a pawnshop in Wisconsin Reacher finds a class ring West Point 2005. The ring is small with the initials engraved on the inside and obviously made for a petite woman. Why would somebody give up a ring like that? Reacher would not be Reacher, if he was not piqued to find out more. He sets out on a quest, which quickly draws him into a quagmire of corruption, organized crime and drug dealers and no wonder, soon enough, he becomes a target himself.

Of course, we all know, how likely it is that one guy beats up a bunch of other guys, not just once, but with a certain regularity. It really is highly unlikely, but we would love it to be true. Jack Reacher is a fairy tale figure for adults and his existence would give us comfort in a world, where fairness and justice are hard to find sometimes.

The old Jack Reacher is back

Although the story is a bit lame I did enjoy the clear and distinct style of the narrator.

Fabulous Clear Narrator

Absolutely boring story and awful speaker. That was definitely the last Reacher audiobook for me. Als never again do I want to have to listen to Dick Hill.

Absolutely boring story and awful speaker.

Incredible boring and very hard to finish. Only plus is the reader who is as always solid. Hope for more interesting JR books
