Genre: Thriller

"I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher. I grew up a fan of John Wayne's and Clint Eastwood's movies, and it's great to see a man of their stature back in business. Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip. Killing Floor is a terrific ride." - Nevada Barr

"Some novelists can write top-notch action and some can create compelling mysteries, yet it's rare to find both of those skills displayed in a single book. Lee Child's Killing Floor is one of them. But 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

"This is a kick-ass first novel by the very talented Lee Child. Hero Jack Reacher has presence and dimension - a man you definitely want on your side. Child has a sure touch and a strong voice. Definitely a talent to watch." - Lynn Hightower

"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
