From the Publisher:
With Reacher, #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child has created “a series that stands in the front rank of modern thrillers” (The Washington Post). Everything starts somewhere. . . . For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. A lonely railroad track. A crime scene. A coverup. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington. Reacher is ordered undercover—to find out everything he can, to control the local police, and then to vanish. Reacher is a good soldier. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, he finds layers no one saw coming, and the investigation spins out of control. Local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux has a thirst for justice—and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain they can trust one another, Reacher and Deveraux reluctantly join forces. Reacher works to uncover the truth, while others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to shatter his faith in his mission, and turn him into a man to be feared. A novel of unrelenting suspense that could only come from the pen of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, The Affair is the start of the Reacher saga, a thriller that takes Reacher—and his readers—right to the edge . . . and beyond. From the Hardcover edition. |
Annotation:
For readers who have been following the heroic acts of Lee Child's character Jack Reacher over the course of his series, installment 16 will be like the Holy Grail. Finally, after so many adventures spread across nearly 15 years, readers will learn the details about how Reacher became the tall, dirty blonde, and viciously clever man they adore. Up until this point, the Reacher story began after he had left the military after many years in the service. In THE AFFAIR, however, we go back to the seminal moment Reacher leaves the Army and heads over to the Pentagon to work for them. His assignment leads him down south to Mississippi and into the thick of a plot involving clandestine American activities in Kosovo. As the title suggests, there is also--finally--a bit of romance in a Reacher novel. Neither this affair nor his working relationship with the Pentagon will last, but the exciting-as-ever story that unfolds here reveals, like a VH1 "Behind the Music" special, how Reacher developed the idiosyncratic, carefully calibrated habits that often save his life.For readers who have been following the heroic acts of Lee Child's character Jack Reacher over the course of his series, installment 16 will be like the Holy Grail.

Praise
"Child's mastery of high-octane plotting remains remarkable, as does his ability to inject what, in other hands, might have been cartoon characters with all the sinews that power human beings." (starred review)"

"Compelling from the first page, the novel will only increase Child's readership. His is the best in the business and this only solidifies that truth." (top pick)
