This
book was published in Great Britain in 2010 and this is the 2011 edition. The
first read Lee Child’s book. But, I’ve known already the thriller Jack Reacher
in cinema in 2012. It was a film starring by Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike. The author was involved in that movie as a
desk sergeant.
A
Malaysian tourist, a book lover that I met on train, suggested me to own
Child’s work. On March in 2015, this novel was in a bookstore and I decided to
be one of my collections. The 533 pages book is very comprehensible. Some twists in this story, it's a really
fantastic and unputdownable novel.
