New title in the most successful publishing franchise in the world - a book sold every 13 seconds!
In For Better or for Worse , Jack Reacher is sipping a double espresso on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan when he's met by a problem: the wife and stepdaughter of a former soldier are being held by kidnappers demanding an exorbitant ransom. In the wake of this horrific kidnapping, Reacher finds himself caught in the middle of a sordid war, where nothing is as simple as it seems. His employer, Edward Lane, is hiding something dirty. The only way to uncover the truth is by doing things the hard way. What began as a simple business on the bustling streets of New York will end with Reacher hiding in the shadows—armed, dangerous, and invincible.
The paths followed by Jack Reacher have led Lee Child, now 65, to publications in 49 languages and over 100 countries, two films— Jack Reacher: The Last Shot (2012) and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) , both starring Tom Cruise—and a deal with Amazon to produce a series starting this year. All twenty-four books in the series, which sells between 12 and 15 million books a year—or one copy every 13 seconds—have been on the New York Times bestseller list, with fourteen appearing at number one for weeks. The franchise is the most successful in the publishing market, with annual revenue of $1 billion, according to Forbes magazine. For Better or For Worse is the most recent title released in Brazil.
