THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES—NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO! “From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”—People Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

The plot is tight, the pacing is merciless.

Reacher gets off a bus in a town he's never been to, for no particular reason, and is immediately arrested for murder. He didn't do it. What follows is forty-eight hours of controlled mayhem. Child writes action the way good code runs — no wasted steps, everything resolves. Reacher is the most satisfying protagonist in the genre. Read it in one sitting. Arrived an hour late to work. Zero regrets.
