"Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times)
Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there.
A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat.
Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people.
Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.
_________
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Make Me is 20th in the series.

Sunday Times
«Typically blunt and energetic...precisely judged.»
Independent
«Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee ("Are you going to be a problem?" "I'm already a problem. The question is, what are you going to do about it?"). Everything about it...is as strong as ever....Make Me is a hot one.»
Janet Maslin, New York Times
«Breathless and bloody...You can't help lapping it up.»
Evening Standard
«The fights are convincing and the dialogue is as brilliant as always.»
Literary Review
«I am very much in love with Jack Reacher - as a man and a role model. If I can't shag him, I want to be him.»
Lucy Mangan, Stylist
«I was unable to put thebook down...a brilliantly crafted mystery and one of Child's best.»
Huffington Post
«The Reacher books are Westerns: they are about the man of honor coming to the lawless frontier town in order to impose a rough sort of justice...[Reacher]’s leading us back into the wilderness, with the reassurance that our psychopaths are bigger and stronger than the bad guys’ psychopaths. I’ve read all twenty of Lee Child’s novels. Maybe there’s something wrong with me. But I can’t wait for the twenty-first.»
Malcolm Gladwell, New Yorker
«Does a fine job of ratcheting up the tension...The relentlessly entertaining Reacher format shows no sign of wearing out its welcome just yet.»
Mail on Sunday
«As well as romance, there's as usual plenty of fast-paced, punchy action and deceptively deft plotting.»
Sunday Mirror
