The sentinel - Lee Child

The edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-mouth new Jack Reacher thriller for 2020 - his 25th adventure. No one's bigger than Jack Reacher.


Jack Reacher gets off the bus in a sleepy no-name town outside Nashville, Tennessee. He plans to grab a cup of coffee and move right along.

Not going to happen.

The town has been shut down by a cyber attack. At the centre of it all, whether
he likes it or not, is Rusty Rutherford. He's an average IT guy, but he knows more than he thinks.

As the bad guys move in on Rusty, Reacher moves in on them . . .

And now Rusty knows he's protected, he's never going to leave the big man's side.

Reacher might just have to stick around and find out what the hell's gone wrong . . . and then put it right, like only he can.

I loved The Sentinel! Classic Reacher, great story. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one.
James Patterson

The one man revenge machine seems revitalised. Great stuff.
Sun

Thoroughly entertaining . . . when the world is crumbling, it's good to have some of Reacher's brutal certainties back.
The Times

It's great to be back in Reacher's company in a world where the bad guys get what's coming to them. A smooth transition for a much-loved character.
