Blue Moon cover

In the gripping tale of Blue Moon, Jack Reacher confronts rival gangs while protecting an elderly man caught in their crosshairs.

In Blue Moon, the latest addition to Lee Child's acclaimed Jack Reacher series, the story unfolds in a nameless city where two rival criminal gangs vie for dominance. As tension escalates, Jack Reacher finds himself on a Greyhound bus, observing an elderly man who unwittingly attracts trouble. With a fat envelope of cash peeking from his pocket, the old man becomes the target of a would-be mugger. However, Reacher's keen instincts kick in, and he intervenes just in time to thwart the theft.

Despite Reacher's offer to help the elderly man further, he declines, revealing his vulnerability and fear. This mysterious refusal raises questions about the hold the criminal gangs have over him. As Reacher digs deeper, he realizes that the stakes are higher than he initially thought. The narrative builds suspense as Reacher races against time to uncover the truth and protect the old man from impending danger.

Blue Moon showcases Reacher's signature blend of intelligence and physical prowess, making it a gripping read for fans of the series. The story is a testament to the unpredictable nature of life, where sometimes, against the odds, things align perfectly. With Child's masterful storytelling, readers are taken on a thrilling journey filled with twists and turns that keep them on the edge of their seats.

It is tremendously comforting to be in the hands of Child and his hero - a good man who we know will save the day in the end before moving on, toothbrush in pocket, "just the clothes on his back. No particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there." * Observer *
Lee Child is the absolute master of the story of a lone stranger arriving in town to save the innocent, and this is one of the best of his series...as always, the violence is ferocious and fast-moving. Anyone feeling hard done by or facing insuperable odds will be comforted by this novel, which is also the best advertisement for the NHS I have ever seen. * Literary Review *
Forget Marvel - we all know Jack Reacher is the only avenger that matters...Child has found his mojo again. * Sun *
There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.
Jack Reacher, the 21st-century knight errant who over 23 books has proved himself the most reliable excellent basher of bad guys since [James]Bond...And good work, Lee Child. If you're at all partial to his revenge fantasies, this is one of the best for a while...your hands keep turning those pages, drawn in by storytelling that knows fancy words count for less than clarity and rhythm...It's nonsense. Yet it's compelling nonsense, a vicarious clearing away of life's obstacles via a hero who has no moral qualms, no physical or emotional vulnerability and no interest in what shampoo he uses. * The Times *
