Lee Child Livres

Jack Reacher est un ancien de la police militaire. Un peu loup solitaire, sans domicile fixe ni téléphone portable, un brin cynique et toujours aux aguets. Lorsqu'une nuit il prend la ligne 6 du métro new-yorkais, il remarque immédiatement une femme dont l'attitude correspond point par point, selon les critères du Mossad, à celle d'une candidate à l'attentat suicide. Lorsqu'il tente de la raisonner et de la désarmer, elle se suicide. Cette mort semble intéresser du beau monde - al-Qaida, le FBI, le NYPD, des Ukrainiens, un sénateur au passé trouble. Tous sont persuadés que Susan Mark a confié quelque chose à Reacher. Et, malgré la meute qui le poursuit, c'est tout naturellement que celui-ci décide de prendre les choses en main. Lee Child, vieux routier du polar, en pleine forme, tire les ficelles avec malice et déploie un style efficace et alerte. Du suspense, du plaisir...

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER A heart-racing page-turner that hits the ground running and then accelerates all the way to a colossal showdown “Jack Reacher is the coolest continuing series character now on offer.”—Stephen King, in Entertainment Weekly There’s deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it’s the unsolved case of a missing child, already decades old, that Reacher can’t let go. The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. They’re awaiting a secret shipment that’s already late—and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to keep on going, to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack. Susan Mark, the fifth passenger, had a big secret, and her plain little life was being watched in Washington, and California, and Afghanistan—by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher.
