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 having a bad day.

It would be a dumb idea to make it worse.

Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it.

All he wants is to find the woman.

He'll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle.
If she's ok, he'll walk away. If she's not ... he'll stop at nothing.

Best advice: stay out of his way.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Midnight Line follows on directly from the end of Make Me.

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

Critic Reviews

"Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap it up. Love it... Best one for a while... there is something subversive as well as page-turning.... The sentences are short, but that doesn't mean the thinking is small.... I don't know another author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all." (The Times)

"I just read the new Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child…. It is as good as they always are. I read every single one." (Malcolm Gladwell)

"Addictive... Child's trademark staccato-style delivers all-action excitement as well as a sombre message about the hypocrisy of the US war on drugs." (Metro)

I couldn’t wait to get back to where I had left off at the end of each ride. I soak up books through audible as I soak up the glorious surrounds on every cycle commute.
For me, a Reacher book is the ultimate blend of intrigue, wit, passion and comfort. Ron is a master drawing you in to the point where you reckon you could recognize every character if you were ever to meet. Which is why Tom Cruise is just ‘not’ the right person to play this ‘iconic’ character. Honestly, the man barely scrapes 5”6, Reacher is nearly 7”, described as ‘Bigfoot’!
Keep them coming Lee, I’ll never tire of these stories.

Another solid outing for Jack Reacher

Good story entertaining, classic Reacher. Keeps you glued to your earphones! Bad guy got off too easy, deserved more than a “bad turn”.

Keeps you hooked, no pun intended!

the end left me wondering, yes I can make something up, but not quite as satisfying .. did Scorpio survive his time in the dryer? Did Nobel claim all the glory or did he share with the local seargent at least? ...

left me hanging

Good storyline as always from Lee Child, but the narrator was dreadful. He desperately needs to learn how to vary his tonal structure

Poor narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
