content: Jack Reacher, former Army MP and hero of eight previous thrillers, returns this month in One Shot, the latest action-packed adventure from Lee Child, a book tailor-made for fast and friendly summer reading.The story begins as a lone gunman opens fire on the crowded plaza of a Midwestern city. When the smoke clears, five bystanders are dead. Quickly taken into custody, the suspect refuses to answer any questions or offer any explanation. All he will say is "Get Jack Reacher."One Shot is filled with the kind of pulse-pounding action and thrills Child writes with the skill of a master. Reacher, one of the most popular characters in contemporary thrillers, is the perfect hero for the action movie audience -- loved by women, feared by men and respected by all.Although Reacher novels are not exactly realistic, you don't read a book like One Shot for reality. You read it to escape from reality. Child helps readers do that better than just about anyone else.
