FBI Special Agent Kim Otto finds the perfect bait to lure Jack Reacher in this gripping new suspense thriller. In Lee Child's twenty-third Jack Reacher novel, Past Tense, Reacher found his roots and a heap of trouble in Laconia, New Hampshire. A young Canadian couple took the spoils at the end of the war. Now, the real owner will stop at nothing to get back what belongs to him. Reacher wasn’t there to protect his only brother, Joe, who was killed in the line of duty years ago. Will he show up to protect his brother’s son? Agent Otto bets on Reacher and puts her life on the line. But she’s been wrong about Reacher before. "Full of thrills and tension, but smart and human, too. Kim Otto is a great, great character - I love her." Lee Child
