Riassunto

Jack Reacher walks alone. No job, no ID, no last known address. But he never turns down a plea for help. Now a woman tracks him down, someone who was once close to his brother, becaue she needs help in her new job. Her task? Protecting the Vice President of the United States from someone threatening to kill him. And so Reacher, with nothing but his toothbrush and the clothes he stands up in, enters a very exclusive club at the very heart of Washington power- the offices of the United States Secret Service. Here he must literally put himself in the line of fire, pitting his native cunning, surly charm and instinctive but contrlled violence against the williness of bureaucrats and the ghosts from his own past - as well as the brutal ruthlessness of the mystery assassin. WITHOUT FAIL is Lee Child's sixth thriller to feature Jack Reacher. A hero whose toughness, coolness and sheer animal magnetism just grows more irresistable with every book.

Recensione

"'You cannot help but enjoy the well-constructed plot of what is a good old-fashioned nailbiting, page-turning thriller.' " (Matt Taylor, Borders Bookseller)

"'Reacher is the toughest, meanest and most honourable of characters, and in Without Fail Lee Child gives him his best outing yet.....This is Lee Child on top form, with more action, cool characters and outrageous storylines than any ten other crime writers could come up with.' Engima"

"

'Sixth in seriously good series featuring Jack Reacher...Exciting, absorbing and intriguing, with hero big and bold enough to handle the percussive action.'

" (Literary Review)

"'Jack Reacher is a most magnetic creation, a tough, cool and ultimately moral man who walks a very thin line.'" (Irish Independent)

"

'For most fans of Lee Child the greatest draw is his military police tough guy Jack Reacher, who cuts through nests of bad guys like a laser-guided Arnold Schwarzenegger. To be fair, Reacher is more of a thinking girl's beefcake - I can see Russell Crowe already angling for the movie part...'

" (Peter Millar The Times)
