Adventure, suspense, and an unpredictable ending. This is the blend Lee Child presents in his new release in Brazil: Final Alert . The third title starring Jack Reacher, a former army police officer, the book was on the New York Times bestseller list for several weeks. The author is now one of the three best-selling crime novelists in the world.
Once again, Child hits the mark by displaying his unique writing style: clear, direct, and unflinching. Just like Jack Reacher. Without subtext or fluff, every word in the book is a direct and immediate shot. Final Warning has defined scenes, defined entrances and exits, colors, lighting, and even camera positioning. Ideal for a movie script. The images are ready-made, well-paced, and with perfect connections between chapters, which also serve as welcome and necessary pauses for the reader to catch their breath. After his last adventure, Reacher lives alone in South Florida, digging pools and working as a bouncer at a strip club.
When a private investigator travels to the small town where the former soldier lives and begins asking about him, he is quickly murdered by two strangers. Now, as much as he wants to maintain his quiet life, the former soldier finds himself forced to discover who is looking for him and why they don't want him found. The first film based on Lee Child's books will premiere in the United States in December of this year, starring Tom Cruise.
