Good and Valuable Consideration

By Lee Child & Joseph Finder
Good and Valuable Consideration by Lee Child & Joseph Finder digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In this short story from the thrilling anthology FaceOff, bestselling authors Lee Child and Joseph Finder—along with their popular series characters Jack Reacher and Nick Heller—team up for the first time ever.

When Jack Reacher sits down to watch a baseball game at a Boston bar, he has no way of knowing what kind of trouble is about to walk in the door—and not just because he’s a Yankees fan in a Red Sox town.

In this action-packed short story, Reacher and a new acquaintance—Sox fan Nick Heller—find themselves drawn into a much less friendly rivalry when the guy sitting between them at the bar turns out to be a marked man.

For more exciting pairs, check out all eleven short stories in FaceOff!

“Lee Child, renowned for his gripping thriller novels, masterfully crafts tales that enthrall readers from the first page to the last. His iconic character, Jack Reacher, is a former military policeman wandering the United States, stumbling into adventures and uncovering deep-seated conspiracies. Child’s writing style is direct and engaging, seamlessly blending suspense with intricate plot twists that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Each novel in the series is a standalone masterpiece, yet collectively, they weave a rich tapestry of Reacher’s complex character and his relentless pursuit of justice. Child's storytelling prowess makes him a stalwart in the thriller genre, offering an exhilarating reading experience.”
