Featuring Jack Reacher, hero of the new blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise. When youre as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly-set, freshly-busted nose, patched with silver duct tape - it isnt easy to hitch a ride. But Reacher has some unfinished business in Virginia, so he doesnt quit. And at last, hes picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. But within minutes it becomes clear theyre all lying about everything - and then they run into a police roadblock on the highway. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys...

Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy? With his signature Swiss-watch plotting and heart-thumping suspense, "A Wanted Man" shows Lee Child at his sublimely skilful best. "He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town".
