Meticulously plotted and packed with Child's trademark action and suspense, a collection of 20 short stories shows the author's mastery of the short form, and they've never been gathered before now.
For the past twenty years, Lee Child has been one of the bestselling authors in the world, thanks to the popularity of his iconic ... hero Jack Reacher. But even at the height of Reacher's fame, Child's short story writing was not confined to the series; throughout the course of his career, he published tales about a range of characters on both sides of the law, including assassins, a body guard, CIA and FBI agents, gangsters, and more. Meticulously plotted and packed with Child's trademark action and suspense, the stories show the author's mastery of the short form, and they've never been collected before now. ... These twenty ... fictions are sure to please new and longtime fans of Child and to illuminate a side of the author's work unknown to Reacher devotees. Featuring a colorful new introduction from the author, the collection stands as the first book written entirely by Child in three years
