"Complete with crackling fast dialogue, an edgy ambivalent plot, and the capacity to make his readers turn the page, this feels like Child's breakthrough book into the mega-sellers. He is that good." (Daily Mail)

Jack Reacher, adrift in the hellish heat of a Texas summer.

Looking for a lift through the vast empty landscape. A woman stops, and offers a ride. She is young, rich and beautiful.

But her husband's in jail. When he comes out, he's going to kill her.

Her family's hostile, she can't trust the cops, and the lawyers won't help. She is entangled in a web of lies and prejudice, hatred and murder.

Jack Reacher never could resist a lady in distress.

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Echo Burning is 5th in the series.

Not bad by any means but by far not the best in the series. Seemed to drag somewhat and felt like the author was padding at times.

Lee Child has a great way of describing a place so well and with so much detail. You know the story line is going to be good, but different enough from other Reacher novels so you can't put it down.
