Everything begins with a single step...

Back in 1997, that someplace was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, for elite military cop Jack Reacher. A desolate railway track. A site of a crime. This is a ruse.

A young lady has died, and all signs lead to a soldier stationed at a neighboring military camp. However, that soldier has important Washington allies.

Reacher is sent undercover to figure out whatever he can, keep the local cops under control, and then vanish. Reacher is an excellent soldier. When he arrives at Carter Crossing, though, he discovers layers that no one expected, and the inquiry quickly spirals out of hand.

Elizabeth Deveraux, the local sheriff, is hungry for justice—and for secrets. Reacher and Deveraux unwillingly join forces, unsure if they can trust one another. Others strive to conceal the truth, while Reacher works to unearth it. The plot threatens to break his trust in his goal and transform him into a terrifying figure.

The Affair is the start of the Reacher saga, a thriller that takes Reacher—and his readers—right to the edge... and beyond. A novel of unrelenting suspense that could only come from the pen of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, The Affair is the start of the Reacher saga, a thriller that takes Reacher—and his readers—right to the edge... and beyond.
