THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO! From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible. PeopleEx-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Rezension:

Praise for Killing Floor A People Magazine Page-Turner A Barry Award winner An Anthony Award winner  All [Jack Reacher novels] are ripping yarns, but.... Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse. Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly  Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable. People Great style and careful plotting. The violence is brutal depicted with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense. The New York Times  A complex thriller with layer upon layer of mystery and violence and intrigue A long unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted. The author pens nightmarish images as casually as an ordinary writer would dot an i or cross a t . The Philadelphia Inquirer  A tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page. Houston Chronicle  Violent and visceral A cut above Reacher is as tough as he is resourceful. An exciting, edge-of-the-chair account. Compelling and relentlessly suspenseful. The Denver Post Some novelists can write top-notch action and some can create compelling mysteries, yet it s rare to find both of those skills displayed in a single book. Lee Child s Killing Floor is one of them. But not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher. Jeffery Deaver  A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about currency and counterfeiting [A] taut and tough-minded first novel. Publishers Weekly  I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher. I grew up a fan of John Wayne s and Clint Eastwood s movies, and it s great to see a man of their stature back in business. Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip. Killing Floor is a terrific ride. Nevada Barr This is a kick-ass first novel by the very talented Lee Child. Hero Jack Reacher has presence and dimension a man you definitely want on your side. Child has a sure touch and a strong voice. Definitely a talent to watch. Lynn S. Hightower
