About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

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

Jack Reacher is alone, the way he likes it.

He watches a man cross a New York street and drive away in a Mercedes. The car contains $1 million of ransom money. Reacher's job is to make sure it all turns out right - money paid, family safely returned.

But Reacher is in the middle of a nasty little war where nothing is simple.

What started on a busy New York street explodes three thousand miles away, in the sleepy English countryside.

Reacher's going to have to do this one the hard way.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Hard Way is the 10th in the series.

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

This book started at a gallop and unbelievably, Lee Child weaved an enticing story with a completely fresh idea. How does he do it? And in typical Lee Child style, I was Kept guessing with lots of twists and turns. He is not a lazy author and keeps ideas going till the very end. This would have to be one of my favourite Jack Reacher stories. Terrific entertainment.
