�Superb . . . Child neatly interweaves multiple narratives, ratchets up the suspense (the reveal of the motel plot is delicious), and delivers a powerful, satisfying denouement. Fans will enjoy learning more of this enduring character�s roots, and Child�s spare prose continues to set a very high bar.��Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred review)
�Another first-class entry in a series that continues to set the gold standard for aspiring thriller authors.��Booklist (starred review)
�With his usual flair for succinctness and eye for detail, Child creates another rollicking Reacher road trip that will please fans and newcomers alike.��Library Journal (starred review).

"ג'ק ריצ'ר נעמד בצד הכביש וזוקר אגודל. הוא מתכנן לצאת למסע שיחצה את ארצות הברית ממיין לקליפורניה. הוא לא מגיע רחוק. בדרך כפרית בעומק היער הוא רואה שלט המציין מקום שמעולם לא היה בו - העיירה שבה נולד אביו. עוד יום אחד לא יעלה ולא יוריד, הוא אומר לעצמו וסוטה מנתיבו. באותו רגע, באותו מקום מבודד, מכונית מתקלקלת. שני קנדים צעירים היו בדרכם לניו יורק למכור אוצר. עתה הם תקועים במוטל בודד באמצע שום מקום. הבעלים נדמים כמעט ידידותיים מדי. זה מקום מוזר, אבל זה כל מה שיש. למחרת בבוקר, בארכיון העירוני, מסתבר לריצ'ר שמעולם לא התגורר שם אדם ששמו ריצ'ר. ריצ'ר ידע שאביו עזב את המקום ולא חזר, אבל עכשיו הוא תוהה: האם בכלל היה כאן מלכתחילה? בעוד ריצ'ר מתחקה אחר חיי אביו, והקנדים ניצבים בפני סכנות מוות, חוטי העלילה השונים מתחילים להשתלב. מסתבר שההווה עשוי להיות קשה, אך העבר עשוי להיות מתוח... וקטלני." -- מן המעטפת האחורית.
