#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!
“Another timely tour de force . . . The taut thriller is textbook [Lee] Child: fast-paced and topical with a ‘ripped from the headlines’ feel.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he’s off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind.
Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there.
Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: “The American wants a hundred million dollars.”
For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don’t get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism.
From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law.

Reacher series
"Pages 224 - 229 should be avoided at all costs. Sex perversions, filth and depravity, abnormal. I've enjoyed all the Reacher novels until these pages. Over 17 novels enjoyed, suspenseful, thrillers, Almost impossible to put down"

"it could have been so much better, and the hype just wasn't up to the standards."
— Vermariya775 (2/5)
Prime Reacher
"Reacher's intellect and strength are at its peak in this prequel set in the 90s. It's Germany, not long after the reunification. Terrorists have purchased something for an extraordinary amount of money. What's being sold? What's it for? The long journey from those questions to the answer is somewhat simple, but the drama skims along nicely thanks to the fast-paced whirring of Reacher's mental machinery. He's Sherlock Holmes with fighting chops. The fun is watching him slowly unravel the who, what, where and when of the puzzle, through a series of logical guesses, investigation and, of course, fists. An easy read, but worth it if you like the character."
— Lshap (4/5)
