Inhaltsangabe

Jack Reacher takes aim at the White House in the sixth novel in Lee Child’s #1 New York Times bestselling series.

DON'T MISS REACHER ON PRIME VIDEO!

Skilled, cautious, and anonymous, Jack Reacher is perfect for the job: to assassinate the vice president of the United States. Theoretically, of course. A female Secret Service agent wants Reacher to find the holes in her system, and fast—because a covert group already has the vice president in their sights. They’ve planned well. There’s just one thing they didn’t plan on: Reacher.

Praise for
WITHOUT FAIL

“Lee Child is a pro at evoking a sense of place . . . If you haven’t read a Reacher story, do yourself an exciting and engrossing favor and pick one up. Grade A.”

—Rocky Mountain News

 

“Reacher is convincingly tough, clear-headed, and street smart . . . everything falls into place like a well-assembled time bomb.” —The Boston Globe

 

“[The] fast-paced plot winds up to its exciting climax . . . Child’s novels are relentlessly paced, intricately plotted, and absolutely mesmerizing. This is no exception.”

—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

 

“Jack Reacher is the best LTGG (loner-tough-good-guy) out there . . . self-sufficient, strong and stimulating to the fairer sex.” —*Contra Costa Times

 

“Lee Child has inexorably pulled himself into the upper echelons of thriller writing with a series of tough, lean and perfectly crafted novels featuring ex-US military cop Jack Reacher. Without Fail is the sixth outing for the resourceful Reacher, and far from showing any signs of incipient fatigue, the series just goes from strength to strength as Child hones his abilities.” —Yorkshire Post

 

“The sixth time’s a charm for thriller-meister Child, whose latest escapade starring ex-military cop Jack Reacher is handily his most accomplished and most compelling to date . . . [A] suspense-laden plot . . . this Child’s play will be a tough act to follow.” —Publishers Weekly

“A satisfying adventure . . . [a] burner pace . . . compelling.” —St. Petersburg Times

 

“Nail-biting . . . [with] a hero who’s as tough and rough and cool as they come.” —Belfast Telegraph

 

“A stunner, packed with extraordinary detail . . . the suspense becomes nearly unbearable . . . A thriller of un-equaled emotional depth.” —Booklist

 

“Child’s Jack Reacher thrillers get better every time, and this is a knockout.” —Library Journal

 

“In this sixth Reacher paperback, author Lee Child is as good as he’s ever been—and he’s usually very good.”

—Waikato Times (New Zealand)

 

 

“Superior . . . brilliant . . . Without Fail is worth a perusal and should satisfy those people who enjoyed Child’s first novels, Killing Floor and Die Trying. But make sure you’ve got time when you sit down to start reading it—you’ll be hooked.” —Evening Post (Bristol)

 

“A good, solid thriller that should bring Child more fans.”

—Newcastle Herald (Australia)

Praise for Lee Child and his bestselling Jack Reacher novels

“The best mystery I have read this year.” —The Boston Globe

 

“A story you can sink your teeth into. Lee Child is a master.”

—The Denver Post

 

 

“Swift and brutal.” —The New York Times

 

“Spectacular . . . Muscular, energetic prose and pell-mell pacing.” —The Seattle Times

 

“Bang-on suspense.” —Houston Chronicle

 

“Page for page, there’s probably more fisticuffs in a Lee Child thriller than anywhere else around.”

—Chicago Tribune

 

“Tough, elegant, and thoughtful.”—Robert B. Parker

 

“Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable. From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”—People

 

“This is such a brilliantly written first novel that [Child] must be channeling Dashiell Hammett . . . Reacher handles the maze of clues and the criminal unfortunates with a flair that would make Sam Spade proud.”—Playboy

They used their usual method to get past security and set up a hundred feet from where he was speaking. They used a silencer and missed him by an inch. The bullet must have passed right over his head. Maybe even through his hair, because he immediately raised his hand and patted it back into place as if a gust of wind had disturbed it.
