Reviews
An enticing snack-like book, full of jaunty tales, twists and violence . . . It is an entertaining read and shows why Child has such a strong following., Child gleefully toys with readers' expectations, mirroring his duplicitous characters as he performs a series of satisfying bait-and-switches. . . . These stories prove that Child has more to offer than the head-splitting exploits of his most popular action hero., For three decades, year in and year out, Lee Child has been the best thriller writer in the world. No question., It's nice to see [Child] spread his wings by stepping inside these many different characters and working his literary magic., This is a great summer read. . . . There are potentially twenty full-length novels here, or forty hours of screenplays, but you'll romp through them in a happy afternoon., The stories are quirky, entertaining, and often frankly a lot of fun. . . . Not a single Jack Reacher story or doppelganger in here, that's true--and yet maybe this is the collection of stories that Reacher might carry with him next time he sticks out a thumb., Stories about cops, hired killers, FBI agents, good people, and very bad people, written in Child's usual unadorned, minimalist prose style . . . Child's many fans won't think twice before picking this one up, but the book might also serve to introduce, to people who prefer short fiction, this deservedly popular novelist.

You know Jack Reacher. Now meet twenty more heroes and heavies from the brilliant mind of legendary crime author Lee Child. A drug-dealing hit man feels that he must unburden his fears and guilt to a stranger in "Ten Keys." A rookie cop in "Normal in Every Way" is assigned to the department's file room, where he makes connections to historic dates that could lead to solving crimes. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he's outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. A potential worker for the Manhattan Project is carefully surveilled by an FBI agent. A killer preys on other killers. Taken together, these stories are a riotous calamity of criminals and crime fighters; individually, they are expertly crafted, piercing tales that hit hard enough to leave a mark. These twenty intriguing, thrilling, and rapid-fire fictions are intimate portraits of humanity at its best and worst, sure to please new and longtime fans of Child and to illuminate a side of the author's work unknown to Reacher devotees. Featuring a colorful new introduction from the author, the collection stands as the first book written entirely by Child in four years., A USA Today bestseller Pulse-pounding short stories from the author Michael Connelly calls "the best thriller writer in the world."
