Chain Reaction: Don't miss Reacher's high-octane, gripping new 2026 adventure from the global bestselling authors (Jack Reacher, 31)

"Brought to you by Penguin. *Buckle up for a ride like no other. The world's bestselling hero is back, in a high-octane new thriller...* Jack Reacher is hard to find. It's not easy to track him down. And he likes it that way. But General Susan Turner, based deep inside the Pentagon, has the means and the motive. She needs his help. A member of her team has been brutally murdered on covert duty. She can’t trust anyone she works with, not even her deputy. She needs someone from the outside. Someone who solves problems and disappears without a trace. Reacher heads to Summertown, Colorado. A town as remote and bizarre as it gets. One diner, one motel, five massive data centres, two giant solar farms humming away in the dust. Total population: four people. And one of them is watching him. But Reacher isn’t built to run. He’s built to finish things. General Turner knows: if they come for him, they'll regret it - all the way to the top of the chain. © Lee Child and Andrew Child 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

[Danish] - Uden for fare og andre historier

"Det var mig, der altid fandt en løsning. Det var mig, man ikke kunne stoppe. 20 nervepirrende noveller af verdens førende thrillerforfatter er for første gang samlet i ét værk, fuldendt med en introduktion fra forfatteren selv. Her er 20 omhyggeligt konstruerede og intime portrætter af menneskeheden fra dens bedste og værste sider. Historierne byder på snigmordere, CIA-agenter, gangstere og meget mere. En narkohandlende lejemorder letter sit hjerte over for en fremmed. En grøn og overset politibetjent bliver tildelt arbejde i afdelingens sagsarkiver. En ubarmhjertig morder dræber kun skurke. En metodisk livvagt siger sit job op, da han bliver overlistet. En militær mission er planlagt til perfektion … Hver historie er vidt forskellig, og med deres stramme prosa og uventede vendinger og drejninger kan de alle kun være skrevet af skaberen af Jack Reacher. 'En god sommerbog. Der er altid et plot-twist – og altid et nyt ét. Du kommer igennem den på en skøn eftermiddag.' – Spectator 'En dragende, snackagtig bog, fyldt med kække fortællinger, plot-twists og vold.' – Independent 'Gennem bogen leger Child med læserens forventninger. Han er som sine svigefulde karakterer, når han gentagende gange lokker læseren i fordærv … Disse historier er et bevis på, at Child har mere at byde på end hans mest populære actionhelts vilde eventyr.' – Publishers Weekly 'Historierne er omhyggeligt konstrueret og tætpakket med Childs genkendelige action og spænding og viser hans beherskelse af novellegenren.' – Bookreporter 'De fleste læsere vil sluge alle fortællingerne i ét stræk og nyde hvert sekund af det, men lyt ikke bare til mig – læs dem selv.' – Gravetapping"

[Spanish] - Bastante seguro: y otros cuentos

" Hay muchos tipos de crímenes y muchas formas de contarlos. En los relatos de Bastante seguro a menudo hay alguien que necesita que alguien muera, a menudo hay dinero a cambio; a veces hay, también, amor o despecho. No faltan los espías, francotiradores, periodistas, guardaespaldas, agentes del gobierno o policías. Una galería de profesionales buscando la perfección del crimen. En este libro asistimos a una colección de los momentos de oro de Lee Child: cuando plantea los escenarios, las tensiones, los argumentos, que aquí se resuelven en pocas páginas. Es un privilegio leer a Lee Child más allá de su personaje Jack Reacher, y en este caso el maestro del thriller demuestra que, además de ser un gran novelista, maneja impecablemente el relato breve.

[Danish] - Projektet

"En række mystiske dødsfald. En længe hemmeligholdt mission. En ung militærpolitibetjent, der intet har at tabe. 1992. På tværs af USA dukker ligene af retskafne, respektable borgere op. Disse dødsfald kunne være ulykker, og der lader ikke til at være nogen sammenhæng mellem dem – indtil et dødbringende fald fra et vindue tiltrækker uventet opmærksomhed. Opmærksomheden kommer fra forsvarsministeren. Lige pludselig vil han have en tværinstitutionel indsatsgruppe til at undersøge dødsfaldene, og han vil have Jack Reacher til at repræsentere hæren. Hvis Reacher opnår resultater: godt. Hvis ikke: så er han en belejlig syndebuk. Men kontorpolitik er ikke noget for Reacher. Tre spørgsmål dukker hurtigt op hos ham: Hvem er med ham? Hvem er mod ham? Og vil den retfærdighed, han skal sikre, sker fyldest være den officielle slags … eller hans egen? 'Sandheden om Reacher bliver bedre og bedre … Den her serie [er] yderst afhængighedsskabende.' - The New York Times 'Jack Reacher er nutidens James Bond, en thriller-helt vi bare ikke kan få nok af. Jeg læser hver og én, så snart de udkommer.' - Ken Follett 'Reacher er mytisk … En af dette århundredes mest originale og tillokkende popkultur-helte.' - The Washington Post 'Jeg er en fan.' - James Patterson 'Reacher-romanerne udgør klart den bedste thrillerserie lige nu.' - NPR 'Reacher er en mand, for hvem vendingen 'moralt kompas' blev opfundet: Hans kodeks afgør hans retning … Du har brug for Jack Reacher.' - The Atlantic 'Jeg tager fat i Jack Reacher, når jeg er i humør til, at en stor mand løser mine problemer.' - Patricia Cornwell '[En] glohed spændingsserie … Du kan altid regne med bragende action.' - Miami Herald"

[Danish] - Usikker grund

"Reacher anede ikke, hvor han var. Eller hvordan han var kommet der. Men nogen måtte have bragt ham derhen. Og lænket ham. Og hvem der end havde gjort det, ville komme til at fortryde det. Det var helt sikkert. Jack Reacher vågner op og er lænket til en improviseret seng. Han højre arm er kommet alvorligt til skade. Hans få ejendele er væk. Han kan ikke huske, hvordan han er kommet hertil. Det sidste, Reacher mindes, er at have fået kørelejlighed med en bil, der blev presset væk fra vejen. Og at chaufføren blev dræbt. Reacher er blevet taget til fange af folk, der anser ham for at have været i ledtog med føreren af bilen. De har lappet ham sammen med henblik på at få ham til at tale. Sådan kommer det absolut ikke til at gå … 'Jack Reacher er tilbage i Usikker grund, den seneste håndfaste spændingsroman fra Lee Child og Andrew Child med øretæver som sidste velfortjente udvej.' - Parade 'Bind 29 i serien om Reacher føles veloplagt og har et plottwist midtvejs til at sætte læseenergien yderligere i vejret.' – Washington Post 'Heftig action og dristige, men velgennemtænkte greb samt en helt, der blander sig for at hjælpe andre.' – New York Journal of Books 'Både gamle og nye fans af Reacher vil kunne glæde sig over den hæsblæsende series velkendte opbud af knogleknasende tæsk og forsøg på at redde verden. Serien er i gode hænder.' – Publishers Weekley"

Birds, Strangers and Psychos: New stories inspired by Alfred Hitchcock

"Birds, Strangers and Psychos is a thrilling anthology that brings together the biggest names in mystery and crime fiction to pay homage to Alfred Hitchcock, the legendary filmmaker whose name is synonymous with suspense. Acclaimed editor Maxim Jakubowski curates 24 original short stories, each inspired by the mood, tension, and style that defined Hitchcock’s groundbreaking work. This anthology invites both emerging and established voices to reimagine the chilling atmospheres, twisted plots, and unforgettable characters of Hitchcock's films, from Psycho and Vertigo to North by Northwest and The Birds. Each author takes on the challenge of evoking the quintessentially 'Hitchcockian' elements that have captivated audiences for decades: ordinary lives interrupted by peril, psychological duels, and unexpected encounters that spiral into nightmares. The volume showcases an extraordinary blend of talent, including Lee Child, Denise Mina, Sophie Hannah, Vaseem Khan, MW Craven, Jeff Noon and S. A. Cosby and many more! Just as Hitchcock adapted stories from literary giants like Daphne du Maurier, Patricia Highsmith, and Roald Dahl, Birds, Strangers and Psychos unites today's literary stars to craft new suspenseful tales that are destined to thrill, haunt, and unsettle. This volume is not just a collection of stories – it’s an invitation to rediscover the artistry of suspense."

Exit Strategy: Don't miss Reacher's high-octane, gripping new adventure from the global bestselling authors (Jack Reacher, 30)

"Brought to you by Penguin. Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. First – a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing around. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing. Second – a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climates. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help. Third – wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . . We all need Jack Reacher – a righteous avenger for our troubled times. Listen to an exclusive interview between Lee Child and Jeff Harding at the end of this audiobook. For the first time, Lee Child and Jeff Harding talk about bringing Reacher to life in audio and celebrate the 30th Reacher adventure. 'If there is a more iconic character in modern fiction than Jack Reacher, I'd like to meet them.' DAILY MIRROR 'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' MICK HERRON 'It's no wonder Jack Reacher is everyone's favourite rebel hero.' KARIN SLAUGHTER 'These books are absolutely addictive. When you pick them up you can't put them down.' GEORGE R. R.

[Spanish] - La fila de medianoche: Una novela de Jack Reacher

"En otro de sus frecuentes viajes por lo profundo de Estados Unidos, en una parada de servicio al lado de un triste pueblo del medio oeste, Jack Reacher, ex policía militar, encuentra un anillo de graduación de West Point en el escaparate de una casa de empeños. El anillo, una tradición entre quienes se gradúan en la academia militar a la que él mismo asistió, le llama la atención no solo por su pequeño tamaño –evidentemente, de mujer– sino por el hecho mismo de que haya sido empeñado: ningún graduado de West Point lo empeñaría salvo estar atravesando una situación extrema. De modo que ese anillo tiene que tener una historia. El famoso detective y justiciero de Child decide iniciar una investigación que lo llevará al montañoso oeste de los Estados Unidos, hacia Dakota del Sur y Wyoming. Entre caminos polvorientos y persecuciones, Reacher verá por sí mismo otro lado de la guerra, uno que se pelea en el interior del territorio estadounidense. La fila de medianoche es otra de las grandes novelas de Lee Child, el consagrado escritor de thrillers del siglo XXI. Jack Reacher #22"

Reacher: The Stories Behind The Stories: An autobiographical collection from the global bestselling crime thriller writer

"Brought to you by Penguin. From global bestseller and creator of Jack Reacher, comes Lee Child’s first-ever autobiographical collection. On Monday September 5th, 1994, at home, at the dining room table, I sat down to write. An hour later, I gave the first chapter to my wife. I asked, “Should I continue?” “Yes,” she said. “I like it.” From urgently scribbling out his debut Killing Floor in pencil (the stub of which he still owns), to taking a step back with Blue Moon, and everything in between, here are 24 honest, witty and wise personal reflections on his life and work, crafted across decades. Whether it is through Lee’s moving account of meeting a fan years after her mother brought her to a book signing; facing his first computer and the coming of the internet; writing about New York just before – and just after – 9/11, to later seeing his novels adapted for the big screen, each riveting piece deftly evokes where he was psychologically and physically when he wrote each novel. Lee has clearly felt unwavering gratitude for his readers since 1997. And these stories were originally designed for fans of Reacher who may be interested in a ‘behind-the-scenes’ – or, in Lee’s words: ‘why the books turned out the way they did’. But this collection is also so much more. It is the story of a man who once put pencil to paper in an attempt to turn his luck around . . . and who made every word count. 'Need a Lee Child/Reacher fix? Of course you do . . . This book is perfect for rabid fans and unabashed addicts – like me.' JAMES PATTERSON ‘Fans of the series (and would-be writers looking for tips) will relish this . . . engaging and instructive’ Sunday Times 'A unique, fascinating insight into the creative and personal journey of one of the world’s finest authors. I loved it.' STEVE CAVANAGH, bestselling author of Fifty Fifty and Thirteen © Lee Child 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

And whoever had done those things was going to rue the day. That was for damn sure. Jack Reacher wakes up, alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. His captors assume Reacher was the driver's accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk. A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . . 'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' MICK HERRON Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, In Too Deep is the 29th book in the internationally bestselling series.
