“Child goes back to the well and gives readers another glimpse into Jack Reacher’s past as a military cop—and what a worthwhile trip it is. It’s 1996, and after Reacher receives a Legion of Merit medal, he’s sent to “Night School” with two other men, one from the FBI and another from the CIA. Soon the trio learns that they’ve been selected for a covert mission. Child layers his page-turning story with careful and sometimes dryly humorous details. This suspense series keeps getting better—it’s a joy to read.”—Elizabeth Eastin, Rogers Memorial Library, Southhampton, NY
