About the Author

From the Back Cover

Never forgive, never forget. That's Jack Reacher's standard operating procedure. And Francis Xavier Quinn was the worst guy he had ever met. He had done truly unforgivable things. So Reacher was glad to know he was dead. Until the day he saw him, alive and well, riding in a limousine outside Boston's Symphony Hall.

Never apologize. Never explain. When Reacher witnesses a brutal attempt to kidnap a terrified young student on a New England campus, he takes the law into his own hands. That's his way, after all. Only this time, a cop dies, and Reacher doesn't stick around to explain. Has he lost his sense of right and wrong? Just because this time, it's personal?

So begins Lee Child's seventh novel. Another heartstopping page-turner, it brings back Child's much-loved hero, Jack Reacher, at his pragmatic and uncompromising best.

What they said about Without Fail:

'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

'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 . . . ' The Times

'A good, edge-of-the-seat thriller.' Punch

'From one of Britain's most successful thriller writers, outstanding dialogue, a super-cool hero and enough twists to have you reading way past your bedtime . . . explosive stuff.' Daily Record

'Reacher is the toughest, meanest and most honourable of characters . . . more action, cool characters and outrageous storylines than any ten other crime writers could come up with.' Enigma

'Lee Child can now rub shoulders with the best thriller writers in the world . . . Child has created an all-purpose action hero who combines all the positive elements of the great detective, the professional soldier and even the great Western legends.' Birmingham Post

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

'Lee Child has inexorably pulled himself into the upper echelons of thriller writing with a series of tough, lean and perfectly crafted novels.' Crime Time
