Lee Child became a New York Times bestselling author with his brilliant Jack Reacher series, action/suspense novels full of tension. Stephen King called Reacher „the coolest continuing series character now on offer”, and a praise by horror master Stephen King means great characters, a dark atmosphere, a gripping and enjoyable plot, and lots of gory, graphic violence. Worth Dying For is Lee Child’s latest Reacher novel, the fifteenth instalment of the series.

On his way to a meeting with Susan (known from the previous book 61 Hours), Jack Reacher, injured and exhausted, stops at Apollo Inn, a rundown motel in a remote Nebraskan town. He accidentally learns that a doctor denies to treat a woman whose nose does not stop bleeding. He thinks the lady is a victim of family abuse, and he talks the doctor into helping her. Reacher breaks the nose of the aggressive husband, thus he find himself in the middle of a gang war: the abused lady turns out to be Eleanor Duncan, the wife of Seth Duncan, a local gangster, a head of a group that coaxes young Asian girls into sex industry of Las Vegas. Actually there are several gangs of culprits involved, each of them having their own wars against their rivals… Reacher also finds an old, unsolved case: an eight years old girl, Margaret Coe, vanished without a trace twenty-five years ago. In the end, Mrs. Coe, Margaret’s mother tries to avenge her daughter – and Jack Reacher helps her in that.
