Publisher's Summary

Number one New York Times Best SellerLee Child returns with a gripping new powerhouse thriller featuring Jack Reacher, "one of this century's most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes" (The Washington Post). 

Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop window: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is tiny, for a woman, and it has her initials engraved on the inside. Reacher wonders what unlucky circumstance made her give up something she earned over four hard years. He decides to find out. And find the woman. And return her ring. Why not? 

So begins a harrowing journey that takes Reacher through the upper Midwest, from a lowlife bar on the sad side of small town to a dirt-blown crossroads in the middle of nowhere, encountering bikers, cops, crooks, muscle, and a missing persons PI who wears a suit and a tie in the Wyoming wilderness. 

The deeper Reacher digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain. Powerful forces are guarding a vast criminal enterprise. Some lines should never be crossed. But then, neither should Reacher.

What the critics say

"Narrator Dick Hill's gruff, evenly paced voice has become the voice of Jack Reacher, even when Reacher says nothing.... Hill successfully voices the many characters, male and female, cop and criminal, whom Reacher encounters." (AudioFile)

a great listen..

I've always loved the Reacher series and The Midnight Line doesn't disappoint. Dick Hill is as usual, easy to listen to and engaging. I highly recommend this book.

Disappointing Line

To be honest, trying to keep the storyline out of the clutter was difficult.
Thanks.

I don't get it

80% of this book is boring with the last 20% being great. Dick Hill is hard to listen to but good if you want to fall asleep. The entire premise of a former homeless Army Major wandering the country doing good is beyond silly.

Bad narrator

The narrator is probably a good guy but the way he reads is tremendously boring. I got thru the book but still don’t know the story. I listen while doing work and I often tuned out while it was playing and wouldn’t even notice it till I was half a chapter further. I think I’ll return it as I’ll never listen to it again.

Perfect for drive to work

I enjoyed this Reacher Novel while driving back and forth to work each day. Sure helps to pass the 45 minute drive in a relaxing enjoyable way.
