Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance - because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world.

On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer’s past…and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He’s beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he’s already in way too deep to stop now.

About the Performer Dick Hill has recorded everything from sci-fi fantasy to non-fiction, Michael Connelly's gritty cop tales to Faulkner's brilliant prose, and all stops in between. His taping of Kozol's Pulitzer prize winning Amazing Grace was deemed the industry's best non-fiction audio book of 1995, and remains one of Hill's favorites, along with Twain's Huckleberry Finn. In 1997 Hill received 3 nominations for best audiobook, a reflection of his character driven style, which he credits to a lifetime of observing and enjoying people. Hill has two grown children, and lives, loves, gardens, and cooks with his talented wife Susie Breck (another Brilliance voice talent) in a medium sized Mid-western town.
