Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:This compilation includes three Jack Reacher novellas and the ultimate fan guide Jack Reacher's Rules.

Deep Down:
Jack Reacher must track down a spy in soldierâ??s clothingâ??by matching wits with four formidable females. Three are cleanâ??but the fourth may prove fatal.
 
Summoned by Military Intelligence to Washington, D.C., Reacher is sent undercover. The assignment: The army is meeting with its Capitol Hill paymasters for classified talks on a new sniper rifle for U.S. forces. But vital details about the weapon are leakingâ??straight from the Capitol and probably into the hands of unidentified foreign arms dealers. Thatâ??s where Reacher comes in. His task: infiltrate the top-secret proceedings and smoke out the mole. His target: a quartet of high-powered Army political liaison officersâ??all of them fast-track women on their way to the top. According to his bosses, itâ??s a zero-danger mission. But Reacher knows that things are rarely what they seem. And heâ??s learned the hard way never to underestimate an opponent. Or four. 
Second Son:
A young Jack Reacher knows how to finish a fight so it stays finished. And, in one of his earliest challenges, he knows that his analytical brain is just as important as his impressive brawn.
 
Okinawa, 1974. Even at thirteen, Jack Reacher knows how to outwit and overpower anyone who stands in his way. His family has come to the Pacific with his father, whoâ??s preparing for a top-secret Marine Corps operation. After receiving a rude welcome from the local military brats, Reacher and his older brother intend to teach them a lesson they wonâ??t forget. But itâ??s soon clear that thereâ??s more at stake than pride. When his familyâ??s future appears to come crumbling down, itâ??s the youngest Reacher who rises to the occasion with all the decisive cunning and bravura that will one day be his deadly trademark.
High Heat:
In the midst of a savage heat wave and an infamous murder spree, a blackout awakens the dark side of the city that never sleepsâ??and a young Jack Reacher takes action as only he can.
 
July 1977. Jack Reacher is almost seventeen, and he stops in New York City on the way to visit his brother at West Point. The summer heat is suffocating, the city is bankrupt, and the mad gunman known as Son of Sam is still on the loose. Reacher meets a woman with a problem, and agrees to help her . . . but then the power grid fails and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city into chaos. What does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager is Jack Reacher, the answer is plenty.
Jack Reacher's Rules:
Jack Reacherâ??s Rules is the ultimate fanâ??s guide to the World of Reacher! Featuring selections from all seventeen electrifying Jack Reacher novels and an introduction from Lee Child himself, this one-of-a-kind audiobook compiles timeless advice from maverick former army cop Jack Reacher.
 
My name is Jack Reacher.
No middle name, no address.
Iâ??ve got a rule: People mess with me at their own risk.
 
Jack Reacher is a freelance troubleshooter with a mysterious pastâ??and a serious passion for justice. Now the hard-won knowledge and hard-hitting strategies of fictionâ??s toughest tough guy are within every thriller listener's reachâ??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.
