**My name is Jack Reacher.**

**No middle name, no address.**

**I’ve got a rule: People mess with me at their own risk.**

You don’t have to break the rules if you *make* the rules. Case in point: Jack Reacher, the two-fisted, quick-witted, “current poster-boy of American crime fiction” ( *Los Angeles Times* ). The brainchild of #1 *New York Times* bestselling author Lee Child, Reacher is a freelance troubleshooter with a mysterious past—and a serious passion for justice.  Now the hard-won knowledge and hard-hitting strategies of fiction’s toughest tough guy are within every thriller reader’s reach—in a rapid-fire rundown of the trade secrets, tried-and-true tricks, and time-honored tactics that separate the man in the street from *the* man to beat.

**Rule 1. When in doubt, drink coffee.**

**Rule 2. Never volunteer for anything.**

**Rule 3. Don’t break the furniture.**

**Rule 4. Only one woman at a time.**

**Rule 5. Show them what they’re messing with.
