Publisher's Summary

The brand-new Jack Reacher short story, published as an audio exclusive.

The tiny town of Naismith has nothing going for it - except the start of a wilderness trail through Maine's ancient forests. But one day the trail is suddenly closed by county police.

No reason is given. Rumours start - is there something in the woods that no one must see? That no one must even know about? Then Jack Reacher drifts into town. What does he make of the Do Not Enter tape strung between the trees?

Don't Waste Your Credit

I am an avid fan of Lee Child & Jack Reacher books. I have them all. This one is a waste of the credit or $ whichever way you buy it. The narration is atrocious, Kerry Shale makes the characters sound like a bunch of boofheads and you just can't relate to the character. I know its a short story so by its nature, you don't get to know the characters in detail. However if it hadn't been a short story I would have stopped listening. Story line was ok (for a short story) but hey, spend your money on something else.

The book only has 2 of the chapters

I downloaded this book and it only has two chapters in it. I don't know if that's what it's supposed to be like but it sounds like some sort of technical issue so I returned it.

jack Reacher or Batman?

As I have listened to all of the Jack Reacher novels. I have to wonder why use this narrator. Nothing personal. just every time I heard Jacks character, I could only picture Batman. it's short. buy the paper back. read it yourself.
story was quite Ho Hum too.
