Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
Jack Reacher is back, dragged into what looks like a series of grisly serial murders by a team of FBI profilers who aren't totally sure he's not the killer they're looking for, but believe that even if he isn't, he's smart enough to help them find the real killer. And what they've got on the ex-MP, who's starred in three previous Lee Child thrillers (Tripwire, Die Trying, Killing Floor), is enough to ensure his grudging cooperation: phony charges stemming from Reacher's inadvertent involvement in a protection shakedown and the threat of harm to the woman he loves.

The killer's victims have only one thing in common--all of them brought sexual harassment charges against their military superiors and all resigned from the army after winning their cases. The manner, if not the cause, of their deaths is gruesomely the same: they died in their own bathtubs, covered in gallons of camouflage paint, but they didn't drown and they weren't shot, strangled, poisoned, or attacked. Even the FBI forensic specialists can't figure out why they seem to have gone willingly to their mysterious deaths. Reacher isn't sure whether the killings are an elaborate cover-up for corruption involving stolen military hardware or the work of a maniac who's smart enough to leave absolutely no clues behind. This compelling, iconic antihero dead-ends in a lot of alleys before he finally figures it out, but every one is worth exploring and the suspense doesn't let up for a second. The ending will come as a complete surprise to even the most careful reader, and as Reacher strides off into the sunset, you'll wonder what's in store for him in his next adventure. --Jane Adams

Product Description
Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cook have a lot in common. They're both high-flying army career women, they're both victims of sexual harassment by their superiors, they're both forced to resign from the service. And now they're both dead. They're discovered in their own homes, naked, in baths filled with army-issue camouflage paint, their bodies completely unmarked. Expert FBI psychological profilers start the hunt for a serial murderer, a smart guy with a score to settle, a loner, an army man, a ruthless vigilante known to them both. Jack Reacher, former US military cop, is a smart guy, a loner and a drifter, as tough as they come. He knew both victims. For Agent-in-Charge Nelson Blake and his team he's the perfect match. They're sure only Reacher has the answers to their burning questions: how did these women die? Any why?

5 out of 5 stars A delightful game between author and reader   January 8, 2009
Neal C. Reynolds (Indianapolis, Indiana)
Lee Child plays the game well. Personally, I won this game, spotting the killer fairly early. That certainly didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book. It did free me, to an extent, so that I could carefully study some of the author's technique, his attempts to make me question my first certainty. And he certainly plays the game fairly. We are given many of the killer's thoughts from the very fist chapter on. So it's a case of matching the psychological profile we're given to the more superficial pictures of the characters. THis book also continues the subplot introduced in TRIPWIRE in which Reacher must make a crucial lifetime decision.I do recommend reading first DIE TRYING which introduces the Leon Garber character, and then TRIPWIRE in order to get the full subplot. The Jack Reacher novels are fairly fast reads in spite of the 400+ page length of each one, but I did find this one even faster than the others. Very highly recommended, but do read at least a couple in the series, preferably those I've mentioned, first.


5 out of 5 stars The Best   December 12, 2008
D. Bahr (Philadelphia, PA)
One of the best spy/thriller series going. Once you start reading about Jack Reacher's hair-raising adventures you will be hooked. This is 4 in the series.


5 out of 5 stars Another Reacher classic   November 9, 2008
Red (Liverpool)
As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.


2 out of 5 stars Reacher! Change your clothes!   October 26, 2008
Mark Bossingham (Tokyo)
This is my fourth Reacher novel and the lone wolf business is wearing a little thin. I am halfway through the book and struggling. Our anti-hero has yet to change his clothes and must be getting a bit ripe. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, writers are not required to notify readers every time a character changes clothes--it's assumed. But, since the author makes a major deal out of Reacher traveling only with a toothbrush (fold-up, no less), it becomes an issue. I find myself waiting for Reacher to launder his clothes, or as is his custom, throw them away and buy new ones. Other irritants: Everybody (Reacher obviously excluded) wears "pressed" jeans. Who the hell irons their jeans these days? And what's with the braless FBI agent? Finally, our man of honor is becoming increasingly obnoxious. You simply can't say ANYTHING to him without getting a fairly lame, if snotty reply. His hatred of the FBI's use of "profiling" to catch serial killers borders on the pathological. Reacher has some real issues here. Sadly, I have a few more Reacher books in the Amazon pipeline and will have to slog through them, periodically stopping, sighing and glaring at the picture of the author conveniently placed on the back cover.

I was very disappointed to find when I started reading the book that I had already read it under another title.
