"Jack's back in a high-octane thriller.."

Set in New York City, Lee Child's "Gone Tomorrow" finds the author's popular hero, Jack Reacher, dealing with a pulse- pounding situation that centers on a conspiracy that dates back to the beginning of the Soviet-Afghan conflict. With far reaching consequences for the war on terrorism, Reacher is going to have to find out why a seemingly innocuous woman would be willing to become a suicide bomber.

To get the answers he needs, the fabled ex-military officer will need to deal with a host of unsavory individuals. Although they may have different agendas, the one thing they all have in common is a desire to derail if not permanently eliminate, Jack Reacher.

Lee Child just keeps adding to this best selling series. Now with a baker's dozen to his credit you might think the award winning writer might be losing his touch. Hardly! The New Yorker seems to only get better and better with each successive novel.
