Book summaryIn his 10th pulse-racing adventure, maverick investigator Jack Reacher agrees to help find the kidnapped wife and stepchild of former Army colonel Edward Lane, who runs a security firm staffed by ex-special service soldiers from various military branches. The more he learns about Lane (e.g., his previous wife died in a kidnapping gone sour), the less Reacher likes him, and the more Reacher understands just how dangerous a commission he’s accepted.Media Reviews"[S]lick, swift, sexy thriller....Quintessential Child...preposterous as always, but oh, how those pages keep turning." "[O]ne of...[Reacher's] most challenging--and thoroughly engrossing--adventures to date....The inevitable showdown...ranks as one of Child's most thrilling finales." (starred review) "Nine red-hot books ago, Lee Child concocted the rough, tough Superman of the crime-busting genre, as smart and charismatic as he is unbeatable. And then Mr. Child broke the mold....[THE HARD WAY] is one more labyrinthine story that takes off like a shot: as usual, Mr. Child has you at hello." -- Janet Maslin The great thing about the Reacher novels is that time and again they achieve an almost perfect balance between police procedural and tactical military thriller....And while there's no denying that the Reacher books are formulaic masculine fantasies, it seems pointless to fault a concoction composed of such electrifying elements." --Rating: B+ -- Gilbert Cruz Publisher NotesJack Reacher comes to the aid of Edward Lane, the head of an illegal soldiers-for-hire operation, who enlists Reacher's assistance to find and stop a vicious kidnapper who has abducted Lane's wife and child, but Reacher soon discovers that his new employer's dirty secrets could get him killed.
