Winner of the prestigious Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year prize, starring today's most admired action hero, the gallant and enigmatic loner Jack Reacher.
Lee Child is one of the world's leading thriller writers. He was born in Coventry, raised in Birmingham, and now lives in New York. It is said one of his novels featuring his hero Jack Reacher is sold somewhere in the world every nine seconds. His books consistently achieve the number-one slot on bestseller lists around the world, and are published in over one hundred territories. He is the recipient of many prizes, most recently the CWA's Diamond Dagger for a writer of an outstanding body of crime fiction. Jack Reacher, the first Jack Reacher movie starring Tom Cruise, was based on the novel One Shot, and the second is Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.
Child has somehow forged that magical grail: a new and believable
hero. Reacher is strong, tall, principled and a quiet master in
unarmed combat. But he's also a wizard at determining likelihoods,
at extrapolating miniscule details and thus forming chains of
inferred logic... celebrate the achievement of giving us addicts a
new and mesmerising fix, when we thought all the heroes had been
written
*Observer*
It is always a pleasure to read another Jack Reacher novel. A kind
of highlight of the year, really. There is only one downside. It's
all the other people hanging around your house saying things like,
"Oy! Haven't you finished with the Reacher yet?
*Independent*
Reacher is an iconic modern thriller hero: the ultimate loner...
won't disappoint the British-born Child's millions of fans... Fast,
compelling and with that nugget of poignancy that sets the hero
apart
*Daily Mail*
Explodes into one of the best thrillers I've read for ages. Lee
Child is a Brit who has managed to becomes more American than most
US authors... 61 Hours is destined to do big things... Superb
stuff!
*Independent on Sunday*
This is the first of Lee Child's popular Jack Reacher novels I've
read. I'd assumed they were merely the macho adventures of a
boneheaded lone wolf: lots of guns and explosions and little to
occupy the mind. Well, I was wrong: there's also an abundance of
intelligence and surprise. 61 Hours is a first-class thriller...
Child delivers it brilliantly
*Mail on Sunday*
In many ways it's the most climactic Reacher ever... There's a
sequel planned for this autumn. Can't wait!
*Mirror*
One of the many delights of Child's extraordinary sequence of
novels is Reacher's 360-degree intelligence... there are now Lee
Child copycats aplenty. Save your money for the real thing
*Guardian*
Child spins a great yarn, his descriptive powers are austere yet
glorious... 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. All without untying his hands. The Reacher novels are
literary beat-'em-ups for the pre-console generation. They are,
like the hero, simply irresistible
*Sun*
As always with Child, the hook is smart, the plot possibilities are
given a thorough workout, and the tension bites as hard as the
South Dakota windchill
*Financial Times*
A storyteller who knows a lot about style... Watching the clock
underscores the tension that Child builds so well. You do and you
don't want it all to end
*Sydney Morning Herald*
