Dirty Money (Series Cover)

First appearance of Jack Reacher, the most famous protagonist of award-winning Lee Child's novel. Dirty Money celebrates its 25th anniversary with an edition featuring an exclusive introduction written by the author.

Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks over twenty miles along a highway until he reaches Margrave, Georgia. It's a decision he'll regret. Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they experience their first homicide in thirty years. He's arrested, and the police chief turns eyewitness to place him at the crime scene. As unpleasant secrets leak and the body count rises, one thing is certain: they picked the wrong guy to take the fall.

Besides a murder, Jack stumbles upon a counterfeit money scheme, which, by all indications, is directly related to the case he's accused of. Reacher must summon his spirit of survival to make it to the end of this investigation in one piece—or at least alive.

Lee Child, with great skill and boldness, takes to the extreme a character created by great names in crime fiction: the cold-blooded, hard-nosed vigilante. Lee Child's iconic hero is a homeless ex-military man who travels the country he served with only the bare necessities.

A thrilling thriller with a surprising ending, Dirty Money began Lee Child's successful series and earned the author the 1998 Barry Award for best debut novel, awarded by Deadly Pleasures magazine, which specializes in crime fiction.

This edition commemorating the 25th anniversary of the book's release includes an introduction written by the author and cover art from the Prime Video original series, inspired by the book.
