DEEP
DOWN - Jack Reacher must track down a spy in soldier’s clothing—by matching
wits with four formidable females. Three are clean—but the fourth may prove
fatal.
Summoned by Military
Intelligence to Washington, D.C., Reacher is sent undercover. The assignment:
The army is meeting with its Capitol Hill paymasters for classified talks on a
new sniper rifle for U.S. forces. But vital details about the weapon are
leaking—straight from the Capitol and probably into the hands of unidentified
foreign arms dealers. That’s where Reacher comes in. His task: infiltrate the
top-secret proceedings and smoke out the mole. His target: a quartet of
high-powered Army political liaison officers—all of them fast-track women on
their way to the top. According to his bosses, it’s a zero-danger mission. But
Reacher knows that things are rarely what they seem. And he’s learned the hard
way never to underestimate an opponent. Or four.
SECOND SON - A young Jack Reacher
knows how to finish a fight so it stays finished. And, in one of his earliest

impressive brawn.
Okinawa, 1974. Even
at thirteen, Jack Reacher knows how to outwit and overpower anyone who stands
in his way. His family has come to the Pacific with his father, who’s preparing
for a top-secret Marine Corps operation. After receiving a rude welcome from
the local military brats, Reacher and his older brother intend to teach them a
lesson they won’t forget. But it’s soon clear that there’s more at stake than
pride. When his family’s future appears to come crumbling down, it’s the
youngest Reacher who rises to the occasion with all the decisive cunning and
bravura that will one day be his deadly trademark.
HIGH HEAT - In the midst of a
savage heat wave and an infamous murder spree, a blackout awakens the dark side
of the city that never sleeps—and a young Jack Reacher takes action as only he
can.
July 1977. Jack
Reacher is almost seventeen, and he stops in New York City on the way to visit
his brother at West Point. The summer heat is suffocating, the city is
bankrupt, and the mad gunman known as Son of Sam is still on the loose. Reacher
meets a woman with a problem and agrees to help her . . . but then the power
grid fails, and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city into chaos. What
does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager is Jack
Reacher, the answer is plenty.

MIDNIGHT
IN DEATH – Eve’s name has made a Christmas list, but it’s not for being naughty
or nice. It’s for putting a serial killer behind bars. Now the escaped madman
has her in his sights. With her husband, Roarke, at her side, Eve must stop the
man from exacting his bloody vengeance—or die trying…
INTERLUDE IN DEATH – In early
spring of 2059, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called off planet to face a grueling
ordeal – giving a seminar at the largest police conference of the year, to be
held in a swanky resort. A resort which just happens to be owned by her
husband, Roarke, of course.
Even though Eve can’t quite see it that way, it’s supposed
to be at least partly a vacation. But work intrudes in the form of a bloody
homicide, and Eve is off and running. The case is complicated by Eve’s personal
history with the victim – and by the killer’s history with Roarke. As danger

violence and revenge and shove the past back where it belongs.
HAUNTED IN DEATH – Number 12 is an

grandson of the man who made Number 12 a cultural icon. Several bullets from a
banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory.

pragmatic Eve won’t let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The
case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious
disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the
connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the
threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.
