DIE TRYING (5 CASS.)»rank:par: Lee Child
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Television writer Lee Child's otherwise riveting first thriller, Killing Floor, was criticized by some reviewers because of an unconvincing coincidence at its center. Child addresses that problem in his second book--and thumbs his nose at those reviewers--by having his hero, ex-military policeman Jack Reacher, just happen to be walking by a Chicago dry cleaner when an attractive young FBl agent named Holly Johnson comes out carrying nine expensive outfits and a crutch to support her soccer-injured knee. As Holly stumbles, Reacher grabs her and her garments--which gets ... |

Running Blind»rank: 94310par: Lee Child
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jack Reacher is back, dragged into what looks like a series of grisly serial murders by a team of FBl profilers who aren't totally sure he's not the killer they're looking for, but believe that even if he isn't, he's smart enough to help them find the real killer. And what they've got on the ex-MP, who's starred in three previous Lee Child thrillers (Tripwire, Die Trying, Killing Floor), is enough to ensure his grudging cooperation: phony charges stemming from Reacher's inadvertent involvement in a protection shakedown ... |

Persuader»rank: 94310par: Lee Child
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jack Reacher, the taciturn ex-MP whose adventures in Lee Child's six previous solidly plotted, expertly paced thrillers have won a devoted fan base, returns in this explosive tale of an undercover operation set up by the FBl to rescue an agent investigating Zachary Beck, a reclusive tycoon believed to be a kingpin in the drug trade.

Echo Burning»rank: 723860par: Lee Child
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jack Reacher is Spenser before Robert Parker domesticated his Boston Pl--in fact, Reacher's even tougher than Hawk. He can inhale and exhale a few times and pump up his muscles so they make a bad character think twice about tangling with him. And he's spent enough time on the right side of the law to know how to operate in the gray zone if that's what it takes to save the fair maiden, punish the bad guys, and right any other wrongs he happens to encounter in ... |
