For the past twenty years, Lee Child has been one of the bestselling authors in the world, thanks to the popularity of his iconic and instantly recognizable hero Jack Reacher. But even at the height of Reacher's fame, Child's short story writing was not confined to the series; throughout the course of his career, he published tales about a range of characters on both sides of the law, including assassins, a body guard, CIA and FBI agents, gangsters, and more. Meticulously plotted and packed with Child's trademark action and suspense, the stories show the author's mastery of the short form, and they've never been collected before now. In "Ten Keys," a drug-dealing hit man feels that he must unburden his fears and guilt to a stranger. A rookie cop in "Normal in Every Way" is assigned to the department's file room, where he makes connections to historic dates that could lead to solving crimes. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he's outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. A potential worker for the Manhattan Project is carefully surveilled by an FBI agent. A killer preys on other killers. Taken together, these stories are a riotous calamity of criminals and crime fighters; individually, they are expertly crafted, piercing tales that hit hard enough to leave a mark. These twenty intriguing, thrilling, and rapid-fire fictions are sure to please new and longtime fans of Child and to illuminate a side of the author's work unknown to Reacher devotees. Featuring a colorful new introduction from the author, the collection stands as the first book written entirely by Child in three years.

NÅR TRUSSELEN ER JACK REACHER, ER DET INGEN PLAN BDa en kvinne dør under hjulene på en buss, blir dødsfallet regnet som selvmord. Men Jack Reacher var på stedet og så hva som egentlig skjedde: En mann i grå hettegenser kom snikende og dyttet offeret til sin visse død - før han raskt tok tak i den døde kvinnens veske og forsvant. Da et annet drap også blir ansett som en ulykke, vet Reacher at det ikke stemmer.Med en drapsmann på frifot, har ikke Reacher tid til å involvere politiet. Han tar saken i egne hender.Men Reacher er ikke klar over at drapene er en del av noe mye større og mer omfattende: En pyroman som er ute etter hevn, et fosterbarn på flukt, et hemmelig konspirasjonsnettverk. Det er ikke rom for feil, men de involverte gjør en alvorlig en: De vurderer ikke Reacher som en trussel. "Det står for mye på spill til å frykte skygger." Men Reacher er ingen skygge. Han er kjøtt og blod. Og nådeløs når det gjelder å gjøre det rette.For når trusselen er Reacher, er det ingen plan B.«Gå ikke glipp av Ingen plan B! Perfekt plottet, fartsfylt ... overraskende. Det er ikke rart at Jack Reacher er alles favorittrebell.» - Karin Slaughter

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher! “No Plan B is not to be missed. A perfectly plotted, fast-paced thriller, with bigger twists than ever before. It’s no wonder Jack Reacher is everyone’s favorite rebel hero.”—Karin SlaughterONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Reader’s DigestIn Gerrardsville, Colorado, a woman dies under the wheels of a moving bus. The death is ruled a suicide. But Jack Reacher saw what really happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving stealthily, pushed the victim to her demise—before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away. When another homicide is ruled an accident, Reacher knows this is no coincidence. With a killer on the loose, Reacher has no time to waste to track down those responsible.  But Reacher is unaware that these crimes are part of something much larger and more far-reaching: an arsonist out for revenge, a foster kid on the run, a cabal of powerful people involved in a secret conspiracy with many moving parts. There is no room for error, but they make a grave one. They don’t consider Reacher a threat. “There’s too much at stake to start running from shadows.” But Reacher isn’t a shadow. He is flesh and blood. And relentless when it comes to making things right.For when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B.

Innestående beløp: 1030 dollar. En feil i minibanken? Det ville kanskje mange tro, men ikke Jack Reacher. 1030 er militær kode for «trenger øyeblikkelig hjelp». Det er hans eks-kollega Frances Neagley som har satt inn pengene, og Jack tar kontakt med henne. En kar i det gamle spesialetterforsker-teamet deres er blitt drept, slengt ut av et helikopter over Nevadaørkenen. Da de prøver å finne de andre medlemmene i teamet, viser det seg at fire av dem er drept og den femte er «omkommet i en bilulykke». Jack og Neagley samler de gjenlevende, begraver de døde, og sverger hevn. For du kødder ikke med spesialetterforskerne. Og du kødder ikke med Reacher.

Dette er den sjette boka om Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher, eks-MP og evig vagabond, blir på vakt når en privat etterforsker dukker opp i Key West og begynner å stille spørsmål om ham. Oppsatt på å holde seg unna trøbbel skjuler han sin identitet. Når han senere finner mannen drept, med avkuttede fingre, innser han at det er på tide å dra videre. Men to spørsmål plager ham: Hvem er etterforskerens oppdragsgiver og hva vil vedkommende ham? Og hvem er den sykelige onde forretningsmannen Hobie? Reacher begynner å følge sporene, som går tredve år tilbake i tiden. Dette er den tredje romanen om Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher går av toget i en småby med det merkelige navnet «Mother's rest». Han venter å finne en overgrodd gravstein eller et lite museum, men finner i stedet en bekymret kvinne, en kryptisk nedtegnelse om to hundre døde og en by full av tause, vaktsomme mennesker. Det beste ville ha vært å dra videre, men det er ikke Reachers stil. Det korte oppholdet blir i stedet en marerittaktig ferd inn i mørkets hjerte.

Amy Callahan og Caroline Cook opplevde begge å bli utsatt for sexpress i militæret, og begge blei tvunget til å slutte. Nå er begge funnet døde, og FBI leter etter en seriemorder som er intelligent, er en enstøing og som har ei fortid i militæret. Jack Reacher passer perfekt til denne beskrivelsen, og FBI er sikker på at han har svarene på hvordan og hvorfor de to kvinnene døde. Dette er den fjerde romanen om Jack Reacher.

Nyttårsaften 1990. Jack Reacher er militærpoliti på vakt på en militærbase i North Carolina da han mottar en telefon om en død soldat på et motell i nærheten. Reacher ber det lokale politiet ta saka, men så viser det seg at den døde er en tostjernes general som skulle ha befunnet seg i Europa. Ganske snart dukker også liket av generalens kone opp. Dette er den åttende romanen om Jack Reacher, men den foregår før de andre sju i tid.

En mann med rifle gjemmer seg i et parkeringshus for så å skyte på en menneskemengde. Fem uskyldige mennesker dør. Skyteren legger igjen en masse spor så politiet klarer raskt å finne ut av hvem mannen er; James Barr. Han blir arrestert men nekter å snakke, det eneste han sier til advokaten sin er: Få tak i Jack Reacher! Dette er den niende boken om Jack Reacher.

Det er en isete og kald vinter i South Dakota. En buss sklir og krasjer og blir stående i det øde landskapet. I en liten by i nærheten blir et vitne holdt fanget, det står en mystisk murbygning alene på prærien og en mektig mann kontrollerer alt fra Mexico. Jack Reacher var med på bussen, uten baggasje - men med en plan om å fullføre oppdraget sitt. Dette er den 14. romanen om Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher støter tilfeldigvis på en vakker kvinne. Hun er alene, hun halter og strever med en krykke. Han stanser for å hjelpe henne, de snur seg, og står ovenfor to håndvåpen som peker på dem. De blir lenket sammen og stengt inne i en varevogn. Kvinnen hevder å være FBI-agent. Rått mot og skarpe hjerner er alt de har å sette opp mot den vanvittige volden de møter. Det er ikke bare deres egne liv som er i fare, men også tilværelsen for hundrevis av menn, kvinner og barn. Dette er den andre romanen om Jack Reacher.

New York. Jack Reacher sitter på t-banen sammen med fem andre passasjerer. Fire av dem virker harmløse nok, men den femte er det noe rart med. Jack Reacher er flink til å peke ut selvmordsbombere, og nå mistenker han Susan Marks. Toget er på vei mot sentralstasjonen, og han er nødt til å tenke raskt. Dette er den trettende boka om Jack Reacher.
