About this listen

“Gripping and suspenseful.... Child ratchets up the suspense to new heights.” (The Denver Post)

Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. And with a burning desire to right wrongs - and rewrite his own agonizing past. DEA Susan Duffy is living for the future, knowing that she has made a terrible mistake by putting one of her own female agents into a death trap within a heavily guarded Maine mansion.

Staging a brilliant ruse, Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise. Trying to rescue an agent whose time is running out, Reacher enters a crime lord’s waterfront fortress. There he will find a world of secrecy and violence - and confront some unfinished business from his own past.

Number seven in the Jack Reacher series

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Complicated Family and Intense Loyalties

Family is complicated and tragedies make loyalties extra strong in this intense, action-filled, all things boldly Reacher plot. Seeing a totally unexpected old enemy propels Reacher into an "off the books" investigation. Reacher has his own reason for being there, and absolutely nothing is going to stop him, not questions, not danger, not even nature. Dick Hill gives his usual stellar performance. I rarely re-listen/read a book. I'm sure I will with this one.

Lee Child Always Delivers!

Another Reacher story that is just as good as previous ones. A taut story with just enough close calls to force you to stay up another 30 minutes to find out if Jack will survive. A rich description of guns was fascinating even to a novice like me. Weapon enthusiasts jump in, you'll love the story!

Love Reacher.

Another great book on Reacher. Dick Hill brings him to life like no other can. I truly hope they make this 1 of the Reacher series on tv.

List are not necessary

Enjoyed the book but sometimes it seems that he includes a lot of list to fill the space. It's not necessary to spend 10 minutes on why an umbrella is wet.

Exciting

I watched the TV show and love it thought I would give the series a try. The book is very close to the TV series which makes both outstanding to listen, read , or watch. I enjoyed it so much that I have bought the series up to the 8th book. I liked how it was laid out, how the author held you on the palm of his hand. Not giving out a lot of information, with lots of twists and turns, the who done it keeps you on the edge and guessing. It was very entertaining, filled with great characters, scenes that you have no trouble picturing in your mind. So thrilling, chilling and exciting, I had trouble putting it down.

It took me a little while to get use to the narrator, He had a slow lazy voice and a little off but once you got use to it he narration wasn't so bad. There was no repeating of words, volume changes, some of the character voices were close to others but he did a pretty good job. I couldn't tell when he took a break even through I know he must have. He gave emotions but I wouldn't call them true emotions but he did a good job. All in all I enjoyed listening to the narrator.

I thought the author did a great job pulling the reader in, keeping their attention and giving a delightful story. I can't wait to read more of his work.

Persuader Reacher Succeeds The Hard Way

I like the Jack Reacher series. This storyline had a little more blood and guts than my previous reads. I didn’t enjoy that part as much.
Dick Hill’s narration was outstanding as always.
