Praise for Killing Floor
A People Magazine “Page-Turner”
A Barry Award winner
An Anthony Award winner
“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, Entertainment Weekly
“Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Reacher is a
wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable.”—People
“Great style and careful plotting. The violence is brutal… depicted
with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense.”—The New
York Times
“A complex thriller with layer upon layer of mystery and violence
and intrigue…A long unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing
and your stomach knotted. The author pens nightmarish images as
casually as an ordinary writer would dot an ‘i’ or cross a ‘t’.”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“A tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the
page.”—Houston Chronicle
“Violent and visceral…A cut above…Reacher is as tough as he is
resourceful. An exciting, edge-of-the-chair account. Compelling and
relentlessly suspenseful.”—The Denver Post
“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
“A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and
enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin.”—Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
“Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about
currency and counterfeiting…[A] taut and tough-minded first
novel.”—Publishers Weekly
“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
“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 S. Hightower
