What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Chicago. 1992. A hospital patient wakes to find two strangers by his bed.

They show him a list of names and ask a simple but impossible question. Minutes later he falls to his death from his twelfth-floor window - a fall which generates some unexpected attention.

That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army's representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he's a convenient fall guy.

Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren't what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.

Will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way . . . or his way?


PRAISE FOR THE JACK REACHER SERIES

'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' MICK HERRON
'Jack Reacher is today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of.' KEN FOLLETT
'Everyone needs to kick some butt sometimes, even if it's just imaginary.' JOJO MOYES

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Secret is the 28th book in the internationally bestselling series.
