The “utterly addictive” (<i>The New York Times</i>) series continues as acclaimed author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.<br /></b><br /><b>“One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he’s larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. <i>The Sentinel</i> shows that two Childs are even better than one.”—James Patterson<br /></b><br />As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.<br /><br />But there’s nothing pleasant about the place.<br /><br />In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.<br /><br />The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.<br /><br />Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against.<br /><br />Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.
