A Wanted Man

(Jack Reacher 17)

By: Lee Child

Narrated by: Kerry Shale

When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly-set, freshly-busted nose, patched with silver duct tape - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. But Reacher has some unfinished business in Virginia, so he doesn't quit.And at last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman.

But within minutes it becomes clear they're 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' Sun

Critic reviews

A WANTED MAN by Lee Child has a plot that rockets along without sacrificing the characters who inhabit this first-rate thriller – you genuinely care what happens to them. And Kerry Shale, reading with perfection as always, adds even more depth. (Kati Nicholl)
