Description

61 Hours, featuring the much-loved maverick hero Jack Reacher, was published in March 2010. It ended on a cliff-hanger. What happened to Reacher? Will this new novel provide the answer?

Promotion info

Following on from the cliffhanger ending of 61 Hours, Worth Dying For is the kind of explosive thriller only Lee Child could write, and only Jack Reacher could survive. Includes first three chapters of the new Reacher thriller, The Affair.

Awards

Shortlisted for Galaxy National Book Awards: Sainsbury's Popular Fiction Book of the Year 2010.

Reviews

"A sequel to the terrific 61 Hours (try to read it first)... one of the great storytellers of the thriller genre" The Times "His is an ironclad storytelling ethos, a gift for narrative that grips like the proverbial vice... Reacher, as ever, is sui generis - a violent force for good set down by the author to eliminate evil and move on. But what counts is Child's ability to keep the reader turning the pages. If anyone can put down Worth Dying For after the first few pages, then they shouldn't really be reading thrillers at all" Independent "As a warrior who lacks a car, credit card, phone or weapon of his own, and has no continuing human ties or home, he is even more of a lone, denuded outsider than Lisbeth Salander, the heroine of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. Both are avengers who play on our atavistic instincts: when we cheer their lethal justice - if we do - we're acknowledging the pull of a primitive hatred that demands death and can't wait, scornful of the protracted pussyfooting of the law" The Sunday Times "Worth queuing up for" Sun "Explosive as ever" Daily Mirror
