About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by award-winning narrator Jeff Harding.

**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

Jack Reacher is alone, the way he likes it.

He watches a man cross a New York street and drive away in a Mercedes. The car contains $1 million of ransom money. Reacher's job is to make sure it all turns out right - money paid, family safely returned.

But Reacher is in the middle of a nasty little war where nothing is simple.

What started on a busy New York street explodes three thousand miles away, in the sleepy English countryside.

Reacher's going to have to do this one the hard way.

_________

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Hard Way is the 10th in the series.

‘Jeff Harding’s [...] narration captures Reacher’s character perfectly [...] you have to savour every minute.’ The Sunday Times

The Hard Way by Lee Child

This book started at a gallop and unbelievably, Lee Child weaved an enticing story with a completely fresh idea. How does he do it? And in typical Lee Child style, I was Kept guessing with lots of twists and turns. He is not a lazy author and keeps ideas going till the very end. This would have to be one of my favourite Jack Reacher stories. Terrific entertainment.
