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 high-octane short story from the acclaimed anthology FaceOff, bestselling thriller authors Lee Child and Joseph Finder bring together their iconic heroes—Jack Reacher and Nick Heller—for the first time ever in “Good and Valuable Consideration”.

When Reacher, the lone drifter and ex-military investigator, grabs a drink in a Boston sports bar, he expects nothing more than to catch a baseball game—despite being a Yankees fan deep in Red Sox territory. But trouble quickly finds him, as it always does.

Reacher is soon joined by Nick Heller, a Sox fan and private intelligence operative, and the two unlikely allies are drawn into a dangerous and unexpected confrontation when the stranger sitting between them is revealed to be a marked man with a target on his back. What follows is a tightly wound, adrenaline-fueled encounter in which loyalties shift, instincts take over, and lives hang in the balance.

“Good and Valuable Consideration” is a must-read short story for fans of mystery, suspense, and action thrillers, showcasing the chemistry between two of the genre’s most beloved protagonists.

“Too short to be much fun but now I’m interested in reading some Jospeh Finder.”

Killing Floor went on to win worldwide acclaim. The Midnight Line, is his twenty-second Reacher novel. The hero of his series, Jack Reacher, besides being fictional, is a kindhearted soul who allows Lee lots of spare time for reading, listening to music, and watching Yankees and Aston Villa games. Lee was born in England but now lives in New York City and leaves the island of Manhattan only when required to by forces beyond his control.
