Review

Complex, classy crime * Mirror *
One of the best writers in this genre ... And nobody does it better * The Sunday Telegraph *
The thing about Lee Child's books is that you can't put the damn things down... there's something about his writing that's addictive. The Enemy is no exception...Superb * Independent on Sunday *
Lee Child fans will love this prequel to the bestselling Jack Reacher novels. At last Child shares the events that shaped the maverick hero of his last six novels into an ass-kicking, irreverent good guy. If you're one of the few people who haven't sampled the sublime thrill of a Child novel, this blast from the past is the best place to start * Scottish Daily Record *
An unforgettable hero...may be the best Reacher book yet * Newsweek *
