Surprised no one has posted any info on this yet, at least I couldn't find anything on the forum. I see the large book sellers have adverts of the book including the cover together with the story teaser as follows:
Winter in South Dakota. Blowing snow, icy roads, a tired driver. A bus skids and crashes and is stranded in a gathering storm. There's a small town twenty miles away, where a vulnerable witness is guarded around the clock. There's a strange stone building five miles further on, all alone on the prairie. There's a ruthless man who controls everything from the warmth of Mexico. Jack Reacher hitched a ride in the back of the bus. A life without baggage has many advantages. And crucial disadvantages too, when it means facing the arctic cold without a coat. But he's equipped for the rest of his task. He doesn't want to put the world to rights. He just doesn't like people who put it to wrongs. |

Well done, Steve!
I gather Yorkshire Barry has already printed off the cover and left it for Mrs YB to find - hoping she'll buy it for him!
I'd not read the 'teaser' although I knew South Dakota and the icy winter weather featured in the start of the story!
Thankyou for whetting my appetite - i can't wait for the release date (and I may well pre-order it now!!!
Trust the New Year brings you all you wish for!

Not far at all then.
I'd pre-order, but I'd rather go to the book tour signings, hopefully they'll announce details soon. |

Hi, tysmuse!
Well, there was talk of a mass (ha ha!!) get-together, for anyone still interested in this forum - the idea being that a mutually convenient stop on Lee's book tour would see us all meet up - dunno if it'll still happen, tho'!
But, i'm looking forward to the release of '61 hours' anyway!

....and that's you supplying all the above, then, mac?
(excuse me, I need to lie down - the thought of the pole-dancing has given me a fit of the vapours........) |
