Jack Reacher returns in this his third outing as the enigmatic, no-nonsense maverick courtesy of bestselling author Lee Child. His first two books Killing Floor and Die Trying were sensational hits introducing the hero to the masses on both sides of the pond – Tripwire is no different.

Reacher, an ex-military policemen, is currently held up in Key West digging swimming pools by day and working as a security guard by night in a small strip joint – it’s a no-nonsense lifestyle that suits Reacher down to the ground. No ties, no commitment; Florida is just another step on his nomadic travels. Available in the US from Amazon US.

When a private detective (Costello) turns up asking questions about Jack Reacher, the 250 lb. maverick denies all knowledge and sends him on his way. Later that night Reacher stumbles upon Costello’s dead body and all roads lead to New York and an old friend.

It’s not long before Reacher is knee deep in trouble. While mourning the death of an old mentor, Reacher faces a new foe and is attacked by two ruthless thugs, he escapes and a whole new journey begins.

So what does Tripwire offer? The Reacher series is fairly formulaic offering nonstop action, entertainment and incredible twists and turns that lead to a climactic conclusion. We wouldn’t want it any other way! The main villain is pure evil and has a psychopathic air about him – he is deviously intelligent and Reacher has to dig deep to overcome his new enemy.
