Intervention
Jack Reacher on a special undercover mission. Will he be able to uncover all the shenanigans and dealings before the going gets tough?
Former military police investigator Jack Reacher accidentally gets involved in the kidnapping of a young man from a prominent family. During the frantic raid, he fires a shot that buries itself in the chest of an approaching policeman, and he has to quickly dismount. But all indications are that he had a stroke of bad luck after all. No sooner does the young man's father - an oriental carpet dealer and a man of great influence - learn that Jack has saved his son than he takes him into his service. However, it soon becomes apparent that the goods being traded here are not innocent in the slightest. And the situation becomes alarmingly tense once it becomes clear that even Reacher's presence in the boss's closely guarded house is no accident...
The seventh installment of the bestselling series with a razor-sharp hero takes you into the bloody environment of the illegal trade.

Lee Child
A native of Coventry, UK, Jim Grant graduated from Sheffield Law School, but preferred public relations to advocacy. His media career culminated in the post of programme director of Manchester's Granada Television, part of the British ITV network. When he was made redundant in 1995 as part of the company's restructuring, he began freelance writing American thriller-style novels, which he said were "the purest form of entertainment". Already for the book Slaughterhouse (1997, no. 1999), the first installment in a series about retired military policeman Jack Reacher, won the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. Since then he has lived in the USA and in 2009 was elected President of the Mystery Writers of America. 27 novels of the Reacher series have been published in Czech by BB/art. The ninth volume of The Shot (Engl. i no. 2005) and the eighteenth volume of Don't Come Back (2014, no. 2015) were adapted into films (2012 and 2016) starring Tom Cruise. Another 16 cases were portrayed in two TV miniseries (2022-2023). At the beginning of 2020, the writer announced that the series would be gradually taken over by his younger brother Andrew (b.1968), who is co-authoring the twenty-fifth story entitled The Protector.
