#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Don t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!
Family secrets come back to haunt Jack Reacher in this electrifying thriller from a superb craftsman of suspense (Entertainment Weekly).
Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn t get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was born. He thinks, What s one extra day? He takes the detour.
At the same moment, in the same isolated area, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians had been on their way to New York City to sell a treasure. Now they re stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. The owners seem almost too friendly. It s a strange place, but it s all there is.
The next morning, in the city clerk s office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He s told no one named Reacher ever lived in town. He s always known his father left and never returned, but now Reacher wonders, Was he ever there in the first place?
As Reacher explores his father s life, and as the Canadians face lethal dangers, strands of different stories begin to merge. Then Reacher makes a shocking discovery: The present can be tough, but the past can be tense . . . and deadly.

Pressestimmen
Child is one writer who should never be taken for granted. The New York Times Book Review
[Lee Child] shows no signs of slowing down. . . . Reacher is a man for whom the phrase moral compass was invented: His code determines his direction. . . . You need Jack Reacher. The Atlantic
Superb . . . Child neatly interweaves multiple narratives, ratchets up the suspense (the reveal of the motel plot is delicious), and delivers a powerful, satisfying denouement. Fans will enjoy learning more of this enduring character s roots, and Child s spare prose continues to set a very high bar. Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred review)
Another first-class entry in a series that continues to set the gold standard for aspiring thriller authors. Booklist (starred review)
With his usual flair for succinctness and eye for detail, Child creates another rollicking Reacher road trip that will please fans and newcomers alike. Library Journal (starred review)
Cerebral . . . One doesn t want Mr. Child s storytelling to end. . . . Get your copy soon before Past Tense sells out. Then enjoy the ride. New York Journal of Books
The way everything winds up for all the participants shows a satisfying generosity of storytelling spirit. Kirkus Reviews
Praise for the Jack Reacher series
The truth about Reacher gets better and better. . . . This series [is] utterly addictive. Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Jack Reacher is today s James Bond, a thriller hero we can t get enough of. I read every one as soon as it appears. Ken Follett
Reacher is the stuff of myth. . . . One of this century s most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes. The Washington Post
I m a fan. James Patterson
The Reacher novels are easily the best thriller series going. NPR
Reacher is a man for whom the phrase moral compass was invented: His code determines his direction. . . . You need Jack Reacher. The Atlantic
I pick up Jack Reacher when I m in the mood for someone big to solve my problems. Patricia Cornwell
[A] feverishly thrilling series . . . You can always count on furious action. Miami Herald
