About this ebook
'An enticing snack-like book, full of jaunty tales, twists and violence.' INDEPENDENT
I was the guy who always found a way.
I was the guy that couldn't be stopped.
From the world's number one thriller writer, twenty pulse-pounding short stories are collected for the first time in one edition, complete with an introduction from the author.
Here are twenty meticulously plotted, intimate portraits of humanity at its best and worst, featuring assassins, CIA agents, gangsters, and more. A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. An overlooked rookie cop is assigned to the department’s file room. A ruthless killer only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection...
Each story is entirely distinct. And with their economical prose and unexpected twists, each could only have been written by the creator of Jack Reacher.
'A great summer read. There is always a twist and always a different one. You’ll romp through them in a happy afternoon.' SPECTATOR
