<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <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 "the coolest continuing series character"--and now he's back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child.</b> <p/> <i>"Why 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. <p/> 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. <p/> 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. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Make Me</i></b> <p/> "Child'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> <p/>"Another 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 clichés and make them compelling and original."<b>--Associated Press</b> <p/>"A superb thriller."<b>--New York <i>Daily News</i></b> <p/> "Child's complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly."<b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b> <p/>"I'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> <p/> "[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> <p/> "Child 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> <p/> "A dark thriller . . . Lee Child's <i>Make Me, </i> the twentieth in his wildly popular Jack Reacher series, delivers exactly what readers have come to expect from the perennial bestselling author: interesting characters, tight plots and page-turning action. . . . Readers won't be disappointed."<b>--Minneapolis <i>Star Tribune</i></b> <p/> "Jack Reacher is back. . . . Readers new to this series will find this book a good starting point, and fans will be pleased to see Jack again."<b>--<i>LibraryReads </i>(Top Ten Pick)</b> <p/> "The reigning champ ups the ante."<b>--<i>Booklist </i>(starred review)</b> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee.

The beguiling Chang offers a new treat for series fans as well, and a surprise at the end will keep readers short of breath until the next installment begins."<b>--<i>Booklist </i>(starred review)</b><br> <b> </b><br> "This series remains as compulsively readable as ever. Child is a master of pacing, stretching out the mystery through short chapters that give rise to bursts of well-choreographed violence. . . . Of course, the biggest strength is Reacher himself: impassive, analytical, secretly romantic, and relentlessly honorable. It's impossible not to root for him. . . . Reacher is still going strong. Will satisfy fans--and newcomers, too."<b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Lee Child </b>is the author of twenty <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Jack Reacher thrillers, eleven of which have reached the #1 position.
