Lee Child Knihy

1. Jack Reacher, bývalý vojenský vyšetrovateľ, žije nezávislý život bez pút a výhod, ktoré ovládajú bežných občanov. Keď ho jeho bývalá kolegyňa z elitnej jednotky kontaktuje kódovanou správou a žiada o pomoc, vie, že za tým sú závažné dôvody, a nemôže ju sklamať. 2. Constance Thornová, hudobná skladateľka, sa celý život cíti neukotvená. Ako najdúch sa márne snaží nájsť svoju biologickú matku a jej vzťah s adoptívnou rodinou je komplikovaný. Keď konečne nájde pokoj na ostrove Bali, dostane nečakanú správu od sestry Jeanette. 3. Paul Copeland sa snaží vyrovnať s tragédiou, ktorá pred dvadsiatimi rokmi stála život niekoľkých účastníkov letného tábora, vrátane jeho sestry, ktorej telo sa nikdy nenašlo. Jeho nádeje, že by mohla žiť, ho neopúšťajú, a zistí, že nie je sám, koho minulosť prenasleduje. 4. Ernest Shackleton vedie v auguste 1914 dvadsaťsedemčlennú posádku na expedíciu s cieľom prejsť pešo celú Antarktídu. Ich loď Endurance však uviazla v ľadovom zovretí a Shackleton a jeho muži musia krutých dvadsať mesiacov bojovať o prežitie.

Jack Reacher sa po náročnej ceste konečne dostáva do svojho cieľa v severovýchodnej Virgínii: do hlavného stanu svojho starého pôsobiska, sto desiatej jednotky vojenskej polície. Chladná kamenná budova preňho znamená jediný domov, aký kedy mal. Už dlho sa túžil osobne stretnúť s novou veliacou dôstojníčkou, majorkou Susan Turnerovou, ktorú dovtedy poznal len v podobe vzrušujúceho hlasu z telefónu. Na jeho nemilé prekvapenie však za veliteľským stolom žiadna žena nesedí. A na Reachera tu navyše čakajú dve mimoriadne nepríjemné správy – jedna veľmi osobná a jedna, ktorá by ho mohla poslať do väzenia. Čo sa stalo so Susan Turnerovou? A ako sa dostať z kolotoča obvinení? Na to musí Jack prísť za každú cenu.

Kniha přináší překlady čtyř úspěšných románů se záhadnou nebo kriminální zápletkou od anglických a amerických autorů. / Bez slitování - Lee Child / Víc než táta - Alan Titchmarsh / Kdo jsi - Mary Higgins Clarková/ Černý led - Matt Dickinson

Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů různých žánrů od světových autorů. Jednotlivé tituly jsou doplněny stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Tento svazek obsahuje romány: 1) Lee Child: Únos - Bývalý vojenský vyšetřovatel Jack Reacher se nikdy neváhá postavit na stranu spravedlnosti. Když si ho najme záhadný pan Lane, aby vystopoval únosce jeho ženy a dcery, využívá všech svých zkušeností, aby odhalil pachatele a našel oběti únosu. Otázkou ovšem je, zda s ním Lane hraje čistou hru. 2) Nicholas Sparks: Odvaha uvěřit - V zapadlém městečku Boone Creek se prý v noci objevují na hřbitově tajemná světla. Pro novináře Jeremyho Marshe, který vybudoval svou kariéru na nacházení racionálního vysvětlení paranormálních jevů, jsou podobné zprávy ideálním námětem na reportáž. Jeho objektivní přístup reportéra ale bere za své, když na místo přísné logiky nastoupí city. 3) Martin O'Brien: Jacquot a anděl - Když v poklidném provensálském městečku dojde hned k několikanásobné vraždě, je to pochopitelně událost, která rozvíří život všech starousedlíků. Zvlášť proto, že obětí je rodina německého lékaře, který zde žije již řadu let, a jak inspektor Daniel Jacquot brzy zjišťuje, řada místních obyvatel má dosud v živé paměti události druhé světové války. 4) John Grogan: Marley - Aby se připravili na rodičovskou zodpovědnost, rozhodli se Jenny a John Groganovi opatřit si psa. Labrador je podle odborníků ideálním psem pro začátečníky - vyrovnaný, neagresivní, inteligentní a vhodný pro výcvik. Marley, jak se štěně Groganových jmenovalo, byl sice mezi labradory výjimkou, ale jeho majitelé si rozhodně nemohli stěžovat na nudu.

Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat ... but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness.

Lee and Andrew Child nail it again with NO PLAN B

Reacher never backs down from a challenge, and he’s about to face a significant one on a deserted Arizona road where a Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles. Under the relentless desert sun, nothing is as it appears. Soon, Reacher finds himself in a nearby border town, a once-thriving place now in decline. Accompanying him is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran and FBI agent searching for her twin brother, who may have fallen in with dangerous individuals. Reacher may need to confront these people, as their leader has entrenched his power in the town. Gaining access to the elusive Dendoncker will require Reacher to accomplish the seemingly impossible, and extracting information will be even more challenging. In this hostile environment, some would rather die than divulge their secrets. However, when Reacher is on your trail, death might seem like the better option. Although this installment is the 26th in the series, the Jack Reacher novels can be enjoyed in any order. Don’t miss Reacher’s latest adventure in the 27th book, No Plan B, now available!

Reacher was a soldier, and then he was in the military police. But now he is traveling the United States of America with nothing much to do. Then one morning, he is arrested - for murder!

Jack Reacher. The ultimate loner. An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he’s moved from place to place…without family…without possessions…without commitments. And without fear. Which is good, because trouble—big, violent, complicated trouble—finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once…not ever. But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business. Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it…justice. From the Hardcover edition.

Jack Reacher plans to follow the autumn sun on an epic road trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn’t get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. He thinks, what’s one extra day? He takes the detour. At the very same moment, close by, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians are trying to get to New York City to sell a treasure. They're stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. It’s a strange place … but it’s all there is. The next morning in the city clerk's office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He’s told no one named Reacher ever lived in that town. He knows his father never went back. Now he wonders, was he ever there in the first place?

From the beaches of the Philippines to the mean streets of London, a hunt for justice becomes a battle for survival. When renegade ex-cop Dennis Milne stumbles upon information that could solve the brutal execution of his friend, he decides to return to the city he once called home, and hunt down the murderer. Milne arrives in a pre-Christmas London that is cold and hostile. But he is no longer a policeman; no longer charged with upholding the law. And although his former colleagues don't know he's back, it soon becomes clear that there are people who do, and they'll stop at nothing to get him out of the way.
