Produktbeschreibung
From a helicopter high above the empty California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night…. In Chicago, a woman learns that an elite team of ex-army investigators is being hunted down one by one.... And on the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher-soldier, cop, hero-is pulled out of his wandering life by a code that few other people could understand. From the first shocking scenes in Lee Child's explosive new novel, Jack Reacher is plunged like a knife into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends…and is on its way to something even worse. A decade postmilitary, Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on his back-no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a woman from his old unit has done the impossible. From Chicago, Frances Neagley finds Reacher, using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying story-about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his old team, scrambling to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a mystery that is growing darker by the day. The deeper they dig, the more they don' t know: about two other comrades who have suddenly gone missing-and a trail that leads into the neon of Vegas and the darkness of international terrorism. For now, Reacher can only react. To every sound. Every suspicion. Every scent and every moment. Then Reacher will trust the people he once trusted with his life-and take this thing all the way to the end. Because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they'd better be ready for what comes right back at them… BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lee Child's Blue Moon.

Rezensionen

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - Rezension
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung | Besprechung von 23.01.2011

Literatur II Manche haben ihn ja schon in den Himmel gehoben als ultimativen postmodernen Heroen; zumindest ist Jack Reacher einer der interessantesten Charaktere, die seit den neunziger Jahren im Thrillergenre aufgetaucht sind. Der Brite Lee Child, der in New York lebt, hat den ehemaligen Sonderermittler der Militärpolizei erfunden, als Mann mit Klappzahnbürste, ohne festen Wohnsitz und Bindungen, als einen Outlaw und Drifter, der erst seit 9/11 widerwillig Pass und Geldkarte besitzt und, wie der klassische Westerner, das Gesetz selbst in die Hand nimmt, wenn er es für nötig hält. "Trouble" (Blanvalet, 19,99 Euro) ist der elfte auf Deutsch erscheinende Reacher-Roman, und zum ersten Mal trifft er mit den Angehörigen seiner alten Einheit zusammen. Richtig gut bekommt ihm das nicht, was nicht nur an der oft holprigen Übersetzung von Childs knapper, schmuckloser Hauptsatzprosa liegt. Zu viel Gruppendynamik lähmt lange den Spannungsaufbau und überdeckt zu oft auch die prinzipielle Ambivalenz, die Reacher zu einer so singulären Kunstfigur hat werden lassen.
