Past Tense (Book 23 Of Jack Reacher)

Description: The most hotly anticipated paperback thriller of 2019 follows our hero Jack Reacher on a quest into his father's past, and climaxes in the most stomach-clenching, hair-raising, blood-curdling ticking time bomb of an adventure yet. The present can be tense . . . Two young Canadians trying to get to New York City are stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. Before long they're trapped in an ominous game of life and death. But the past can be worse . . . Jack Reacher is on an epic road trip across America. He doesn't get far. Deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. But when he arrives he is told no one named Reacher ever lived there. Now he wonders: who's lying? As the tension ratchets up and these two stories begin to entwine, the stakes have never been higher for Reacher. That's for damn sure.

Review: "Absolutely loved Past Tense - Lee Child just gets better and better, which is a very rare quality in a writer of a long-run series. Whip smart, always compelling, always fun, he is dangerously addictive." -- Peter James "Jack Reacher is today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of" -- Ken Follett "I loved it. One of the best." -- Jonathan Ross "It's Lee Child. Why would you not read it?" -- Karin Slaughter "Sometimes you just want someone who can beat the s*** out of people! I pick up Jack Reacher when I'm in the mood for someone big to solve my problems" -- Patricia Cornwell
