_________

In search of a dead guitar player, Jack Reacher steps off a bus and walks fourteen miles to reach the small town of Margrave, Georgia.

An arbitrary decision he's about to regret.

Margrave has just had its first homicide in thirty years, and Reacher is the only stranger in town. He seems the obvious fall guy.

As nasty secrets leak out, and the body count mounts, only one thing is for sure: they picked the wrong guy to frame for murder.

‘Races along, spattering blood and body parts along the way.’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

'A page-turning delight, a relentless rollercoaster of action and twists . it's everything you'd want in a thriller. Go on, dive in!' ABIR MUKHERJEE

'Stunningly dynamic.' DAILY MAIL

‘Great style and careful plotting… detail that builds dread and suspense.’ THE NEW YORK TIMES

‘All [Jack Reacher novels] are ripping yarns, but…. Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse.’ STEPHEN KING

'Not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher.’ JEFFERY DEAVER
