There's deadly trouble in the wilds of Nebraska...and Reacher walks right into it.
First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it's the unsolved case of a missing eight-year-old girl, already decades old, that Reacher can't let go.
The Duncans want Reacher gone - or dead. And it's not just past secrets they're trying to hide. They're awaiting a asecret shipment that's already late - and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they're just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world.
Reacher - bruised and battered - should have just kept on going. But for Reacher, that was impossible.
Worth Dying For is the kind of explosive thriller only Lee Child could write and only Jack Reacher could survive - a heart-racing page-turner no suspense fan will want to miss.

500+ pages, read in 24 hours. Enough said!
While sticking to the basic formula of Reacher kicks bad guys' butts, Child manages to change it up a little. In some ways, Reacher's an anachronism, and if serious modern technology was used with strategy against him, he'd be in trouble. It starts to look as though he will be outnumbered when profe...
9/30/12 ** Well, on the second read, a very good book. However, after re-reading 61 Hours, Worth Dying For, and A Wanted Man in quick succession, I have some quibbles. Child presents these as happening in quick succession. Having a meth ring, white slave ring, and middle-eastern banking scheme in...
Reacher gets more talented with age, and Child's more humorous.
