<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER € <b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <i>LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, </i>AND <i>SUSPENSE MAGAZINE</i></b> € Stephen King calls Jack Reacher €œthe coolest continuing series character€€"and now he€s back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child.</b><br><br> <i>€œWhy is this town called Mother€s Rest?€</i> That€s all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It€s a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.<br><br> Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there€s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he€s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way€"right back to where he started, in Mother€s Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine.<br><br> Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher€s rule is: If you want me to stop, you€re going to have to make me.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>Make Me</i></b><br><br> €œChild€s Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee. Everything about it, starting with Reacher€s nose for bad news, is as strong as ever. . . . The big guy€s definitely on the upswing. The guy who writes about him is too.€<b>€"Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i></b><br><br>€œAnother winner . . . There€s a reason why Child is considered the best of the best in the thriller genre: He can take all these strange elements and clich©s and make them compelling and original.€<b>€"Associated Press</b><br><br>€œA superb thriller.€<b>€"New York <i>Daily News</i></b><br><br> €œChild€s complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly.€<b>€"<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b><br><br>€œI€ve read all twenty of Lee Child€s novels. Maybe there€s something wrong with me. But I can€t wait for the twenty-first.€<b>€"Malcolm Gladwell, <i>The New Yorker</i></b><br><br> €œ[The Reacher series] is the current gold standard in the genre. . . . In <i>Make Me</i> Lee Child delivers another Jack Reacher specialty; the total knockout.€<b>€"<i>Dayton Daily News</i></b><br><br> €œChild serves up wingding plots, pithy dialogue, extraordinary background on intriguing topics, and cunningly constructed suspense. But what keeps us coming back€"by the millions€"is the chance to walk around in the skin of that big guy in the middle of everything.€<b>€"<i>The Oregonian</i></b><br><br> €œA dark thriller . . .
