About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly set, freshly busted nose - it isn't easy to hitch a ride in Nebraska. At last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman.

Within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and there's a police roadblock ahead. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys . . .

Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, A Wanted Man follows on directly from the end of Worth Dying For.

Editorial reviews

Winner of Specsavers National Book Awards 2012 for Crime Thriller of the Year, the legend that is Jack Reacher is back in the unabridged audiobook A Wanted Man, Book 17 in the incredibly popular Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child and narrated by Jeff Harding. Jack Reacher gets into the wrong car at the wrong time. At first he thinks its coincidence, then the chilling clues all point towards the people in the car knowing exactly who he is. Danger lurks in every corner of this story and the hero we know so well will face his biggest challenge yet. Available now from Audible.

This wasn't my favourite Reacher story but I did still enjoy the twists and turns in A Wanted Man. Looking forward to next month when I start the next in the series...

Outstanding Reacher classic. one of the top 5 for sure. first part is beautifully crafted in a style which breaks from the norm then the tale ends with a gratifying conclusion.

Cracking.

Perhaps a it longer than necessary in the set dressing but still a cracking tale. I do like the connection between stories too.
Jeff Harding dies an excellent job. Reacher wouldn’t be Reacher with his characterisations.

Another awesome Reacher.

I confess, I am hooked!
Lee Child has created a person who’s grasp of life and it’s happenings continue to bring a smile to my face. This story was particularly enjoyable. Not just the mystery and thrill of where the story take you, but the dry, unassuming and confident way Reacher just keeps getting on with things.
Thank you Lee Child and importantly, Jeff Harding. I can’t imagine another narrator brining Reacher to such life!

Jack Reacher continues to deliver

Love reading his books, and love being able to listen to them. Once you get started, it's hard to stop.

Love Lee Child's books

Another Reacher novel that picks up the threads from previous novels. Lee Childs certainly has a clear picture of his character and Jeff Harding continues to excel in his story telling and character voices.

Reacher succeeds again!
