HE’S back and badder than ever. Jack that is, Jack Reacher, ex- Army MP and the baddest “good guy” you’ll ever meet.

Fans of the Jack Reacher series will not be disappointed in this latest instalment.

This guy just seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time every time, stumbling into action and adventure and making the bad guys pay.

This time Jack gets involved in a kidnapping, and, after seeing the pick-up-guy drive away in the car, is hired to help.

But is he helping the wrong side? And just who is watching who?
