Past Tense: A Jack Reacher Novel

Past Tense: A Jack Reacher Novel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢Â Family secrets come back to haunt Jack Reacher in this electrifying thriller from â€œa superb craftsman of suspenseâ€ (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 doesnâ€™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, Whatâ€™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 theyâ€™re stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. The owners seem almost too friendly. Itâ€™s a strange place, but itâ€™s all there is.

The next morning, in the city clerkâ€™s office, Reacher asks about the old family home. Heâ€™s told no one named Reacher ever lived in town. Heâ€™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 fatherâ€™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.

Praise for Past Tense

â€œChild is one writer who should never be taken for granted.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review

â€œ[Lee Child]Â shows no signs of slowing down.Â . . . Reacher is a man for whom the phraseÂ moral compassÂ was invented:Â His code determines his direction. . . . You need Jack Reacher.â€â€”The Atlantic

â€œSuperb . . . 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 characterâ€™s roots, and Childâ€™s spare prose continues to set a very high bar.â€â€”Publishers WeeklyÂ (boxed and starred review)

â€œAnother first-class entry in a series that continues to set the gold standard for aspiring thriller authors.â€â€”BooklistÂ (starred review)

â€œWith his usual flair for succinctness and eye for detail, Child creates another rollicking Reacher road trip that will please fans and newcomers alike.â€â€”Library JournalÂ (starred review)
