Nothing to Lose

Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs the town of Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against the neighboring town of Despair. Against the deputies who try to break him & the rich man who tries to scare him, & starts to crack open the secrets to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that’s killing Americans by the thousand.

Bad Luck and Trouble

Reacher has an ATM card & the clothes on his back, that's all. But from Chicago, Frances Neagley finds Reacher, using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying story, about the death of a man they both served with. Reacher then reunites with the survivors of his old team, scrambling to connect the dots in a mystery that is growing darker by the day with a trail that leads into the neon of Vegas & the darkness of international terrorism.

The Hard Way

Jack Reacher is hired by Edward Lane, a man who runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation to find his family. But Lane is a man with secrets, & as Reacher learns them, he begins to suspect everything is not as it seems.

One Shot

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, from the world he lives in—no phone, no address, no commitments–ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming.

The Enemy

New Year's Day, 1990. Jack Reacher. Hero. Loner. Soldier. Soldier’s son. An elite military cop, he was one of the army’s brightest stars. But in every cop’s life there is a turning point. One case. One messy, tangled case that can shatter a career. Turn a lawman into a renegade. And make him question words like honor, valor, & duty. For Jack Reacher, this is that case.

Persuader

Jack Reacher hass moved from place to place, without family, without possessions, without commitments. And without fear. Which is good, because trouble finds him wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once, not ever. But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. 10 years ago, a key investigation went sour & someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it justice.

Without Fail

Skilled, cautious, anonymous, Jack Reacher is perfect for the job: to assassinate the vice president of the United States. Theoretically, of course. A female Secret Service agent wants Reacher to find the holes in her system, & fast, because a covert group already has the vice president in their sights. They've planned well. There's just one thing they didn't plan on: Reacher.

Echo Burning

Jack Reacher is adrift in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer, & he needs to keep moving through the wide open vastness. The last thing he’s worried about is exactly who picks him up while hitchhiking. He never expected it to be somebody like Carmen. She’s alone, driving a Cadillac. She’s beautiful, young & rich. She has a little girl who is being watched by unseen observers. And a husband who is in jail. Who will beat her senseless when he comes out. If he doesn’t kill her first.

Running Blind

Women are being murdered nationwide by a killer who leaves no trace of evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to an apparent motive. All the victims have one thing in common: they each knew Jack Reacher.

Tripwire

Jack Reacher, ex-military policeman relaxed in Key West until an amiable PI whom was hired in New York by the daughter of Reacher's mentor and former commanding officer, General Garber. Garber's investigation into a Vietnam MIA sets Reacher on collision course with a long time con man, hours away from his biggest score.

Die Trying

On a downtown Chicago sidewalk, Jack Reacher & an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight by two men, practiced and confident, who stop them at gunpoint & force them into a sedan. Then Reacher & the woman are switched into a second vehicle & hauled away. The FBI is desperate to rescue the woman, a Special Agent from the Chicago office, & because this woman is not just another agent. Reacher & she join forces, against hopeless odds to escape. But the FBI thinks Jack is one of the kidnappers & when they close in, the Bureau snipers will be shooting to kill.

Killing Floor

Jack Reacher killed multiple people back when he was a military policeman. Yet, it is a murder that he didn't commit that lands him in trouble. After his inexplicable arrest in small-town Georgia, Reacher must rely on his professional talents & a sympathetic police officer to clear his name.

Executive Power

As special advisor on counterterrorism to the CIA director, Mitch Rapp is ready to fight the war on terrorism from CIA headquarters rather than the front line. That is, until a platoon of Navy SEALs, is caught in a deadly ambush. The mission had been top secret, so who told the enemy? All evidence points to the State Department & the Philippine embassy. But a greater threat still lurks. An unknown assassin working closely with the highest powers in the Middle East is bent on igniting war. But with everything not being what it seems, will Rapp be able to overcome this anonymous foe & keep the flames of war from raging?

Separation of Power

Newly appointed CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy is the target of an inside plot to destroy her reputation & end President's re-election bid. To make matters worse, Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race; something Israel has vowed to stop. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, the President calls on his secret weapon: top counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp. But with only two weeks to take out the nukes, Rapp is up against a ticking clock.

The Third Option

Mitch Rapp, has a new target, a German Industrialist who has been selling sensitive equipment to the worlds most notorious sponsors of terrorism. However the mission goes wrong, through no fault of Rapp's. Once he heals up, Rapp heads back to the United States to find out why he was betrayed..& by whom.

Transfer of Power

One Washington morning, a group of terrorists invades the White House, & leaving dozens of innocent bystanders murdered. The Secret Service evacuates the president to his underground bunker, but not before 89 hostages are taken. While the politicians & the military leaders argue over how to negotiate with the terrorists, 1 man is sent in. Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, makes his way into the White House & soon discovers that the president is not as safe as previously thought.

Term Limits

In 1 bloody night, 3 of Washington's most powerful politicians are executed with surgical precision. Their assassins then deliver a shocking ultimatum to the American government: set aside partisan politics & restore power to the people. They warn that no one is out of their reach, not even the president. A joint FBI-CIA task force reveals the killers are elite military commandos, but no one knows exactly who they are. Only Michael O'Rourke, a former U.S. Marine and freshman congressman, holds a clue to the violence.

Kill Shot

In the year since the CIA trained & unleashed him, Mitch Rapp has dismantled the network of monsters behind the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. The hunt leads to Paris, where a deadly trap is sprung as Rapp assassinates Libya's oil minister. What follows is the discovery of nine bodies, in 1 of the city’s finest hotels. Washington wants no part of the international crisis, & Rapp is deemed a liability by Stan Hurley, 1 of his handlers. But as he slips outside their control to operate on his own, it will soon become clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded & cornered Mitch Rapp.

American Assassin

Mitch Rapp is a gifted college athlete who just wants retribution for the Pan Am Lockerbie attack. He trains 6 months intensely with other clandestine operatives, under CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield & protégé Irene Kennedy, to hunt & kill terrorists. The assassin leaves a trail of bodies across Europe to Beirut, where he needs every ounce of skill & cunning to survive the war-ravaged city & its deadly terrorist factions.

The Silent Wife

GBI investigator Will Trent confronted with an inmate who claims that he is innocent of a brutal attack. The man insists that he was framed by a corrupt law enforcement team led by Jeffrey Tolliver. If Will reopens the investigation & implicates the dead police officer with a hero’s reputation of wrongdoing, the convict will provide information to the GBI. Only days ago, another young woman was viciously murdered in a state park in northern Georgia. Is it a fluke, or could there be a serial killer on the loose?
