Lee Child Livres

Jack Reacher est un ancien de la police militaire. Un peu loup solitaire, sans domicile fixe ni téléphone portable, un brin cynique et toujours aux aguets. Lorsqu'une nuit il prend la ligne 6 du métro new-yorkais, il remarque immédiatement une femme dont l'attitude correspond point par point, selon les critères du Mossad, à celle d'une candidate à l'attentat suicide. Lorsqu'il tente de la raisonner et de la désarmer, elle se suicide. Cette mort semble intéresser du beau monde - al-Qaida, le FBI, le NYPD, des Ukrainiens, un sénateur au passé trouble. Tous sont persuadés que Susan Mark a confié quelque chose à Reacher. Et, malgré la meute qui le poursuit, c'est tout naturellement que celui-ci décide de prendre les choses en main. Lee Child, vieux routier du polar, en pleine forme, tire les ficelles avec malice et déploie un style efficace et alerte. Du suspense, du plaisir...

Zimową nocą na autostradzie w Nebrasce nie jest łatwo złapać okazję. Zwłaszcza jeśli jest się wielkim, groźnie wyglądającym facetem, w dodatku z krwawiącym nosem. Ale Reacher ma do załatwienia sprawę w Wirginii, więc nie rezygnuje. I w końcu jego cierpliwość zostaje nagrodzona wsiada do chevroleta, którym jedzie dwóch mężczyzn i kobieta. Szybko się orientuje, że żadne z nich nie jest tym, za kogo się podaje, i zastanawia się, jaką przypisali mu rolę. Bo nie jest naiwny; wie, że nie zabrali go ze sobą z dobrego serca.

Medicine Creek, un coin paisible du Kansas.

Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů různých žánrů od světových autorů, doplněné stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Prvním románem je příběh bývalého vojenského vyšetřovatele Jacka Reachera, který se postaví na stranu spravedlnosti, když ho najme záhadný pan Lane, aby vystopoval únosce jeho ženy a dcery. Reacher využívá své zkušenosti k odhalení pachatele, ale otázkou zůstává, zda Lane hraje čistou hru. Druhý příběh se odehrává v zapadlém městečku Boone Creek, kde se objevují tajemná světla na hřbitově. Novinář Jeremy Marshe, známý svým racionálním přístupem k paranormálním jevům, se snaží najít logické vysvětlení, ale jeho objektivita je ohrožena, když se dostává do kontaktu s emocemi. Třetí román sleduje inspektora Daniela Jacquota, který se ocitá uprostřed vyšetřování vícerozměrné vraždy v poklidném provensálském městečku. Oběťmi jsou členové rodiny německého lékaře, což vyvolává vzpomínky na události druhé světové války. Poslední příběh se zaměřuje na Jenny a Johna Groganovy, kteří se rozhodnou pořídit si psa jako přípravu na rodičovství. Jejich labrador Marley se však ukáže být výjimečný a přináší do jejich života spoustu nečekaných zážitků.

LE PRIME AVVENTURE DI JACK REACHER: L’ATTO DI NASCITA DI UN GRANDE PROTAGONISTA DELLA NARRATIVA DI SUSPENSE, UN EROE SCHIVO E SOLITARIO DIVENTATO UNA VERA LEGGENDA Jack Reacher è un vero duro, un ex militare addestrato a pensare e ad agire con assoluta rapidità e determinazione, ma anche dotato di un profondo senso dell’onore e della giustizia. È di casa negli Stati Uniti, in tutti gli Stati Uniti, attraverso i quali si muove con libertà, ma possiede un talento del tutto particolare per trovarsi nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato. La cosa tuttavia non lo turba – d’altra parte c’è ben poco che possa turbarlo. Semmai ci sono molte cose, e molte persone, che lo infastidiscono: quello che non sopporta è l’ingiustizia e coloro che non tollera sono gli sbruffoni, i violenti, gli intriganti, i bugiardi, in una parola i cattivi. Se si rientra in questa categoria, è meglio non trovarlo sulla propria strada, o addirittura pestargli i piedi. Decisamente meglio…

Brzy se ukáže, že za hranicemi města číhá vrah. 2) Martina Reillyová: Seznam přání - Dvanáctiletý Mark je plný pochybností a přeje si, aby všechno bylo jako dřív a mohli žít s mámou, tátou a bratrem jako šťastná rodina.

Hitching rides is an unreliable mode of transport. In temperatures of over a hundred degrees, you’re lucky if a driver will open the door of his air-conditioned car long enough to let you slide in. That’s Jack Reacher’s conclusion. He’s adrift in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer, and he needs to keep moving through the wide open vastness, like a shark in the water. The last thing he’s worried about is exactly who picks him up. He never expected it to be somebody like Carmen. She’s alone, driving a Cadillac. She’s beautiful, young and 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. Reacher is no stranger to trouble. And at Carmen’s remote ranch in Echo County there is plenty of it: lies and prejudice, hatred and murder. Reacher can never resist a lady in distress. Her family is hostile. The cops can’t be trusted. The lawyers won’t help. If Reacher can’t set things straight, who can?

Drieduizend kilometer later zitten ze vast in een geheim kamp in het uitgestrekte noorden van Montana. De vrouw zegt dat ze Holly Johnson heet en FBI-agent is. Holly heeft lef, ze is sterk, maar de doorgewinterde Reacher voelt dat er meer achter steekt.

Jack Reacher è un duro. Ex maggiore della polizia militare, giunto nell'assolato sudovest americano, in uno scenario affascinante, vorrebbe solo farsi un bicchiere in un bar.

La mattina successiva Jack vede arrivare al suo motel una macchina della polizia e, guarda caso, uno degli agenti a bordo è proprio il tipo che ha malmenato la sera prima. Jack fugge sperando di trovare qualcuno che gli offra un passaggio verso la salvezza. E, in realtà, una vecchia Cadillac si ferma. Al volante c'è Carmen Greer, un'affascinante messicana che non esita a farlo salire. E cominciano i guai. Carmen è disperata. Sloop, il marito violento che l'ha picchiata per anni, sta tornando a casa. In galera ce l'ha spedito lei, denunciandolo per frode fiscale. Ma l'uomo ha deciso di patteggiare denunciando a sua volta i soci nella frode e, una volta a casa, potrebbe picchiare di nuovo la moglie, forse anche ucciderla, se scoprisse la verità...
