\"The invincible Reacher is as irresistible as ever.\" (Sunday Telegraph)

You do not mess with Jack Reacher.

He is as close to untraceable as a person can get. A loner comfortable in his anonymity and solitude. So when a member of his old Army unit finds a way to contact him, he knows this has to be serious.

You do not mess with the Special Investigators.

In the past the elite team always watched each other's backs. Now one of them has shown up dead in the California desert and six more are missing.

Reacher's old buddies are in big trouble, and he can't let that go.

_________

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Bad Luck and Trouble is the 11th in the series.

From the author of Empire of Pain - a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating repercussions.

WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING

ONE OF DUA LIPA'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

'The best book I've read for a while, it's fantastic' John Oliver

'A must read' Gillian Flynn

One night in December 1972, Jean McConville, a mother of ten, was abducted from her home in Belfast and never seen alive again. Her disappearance would haunt her orphaned children, the perpetrators of this terrible crime and a whole society in Northern Ireland for decades.

In this powerful, scrupulously reported book, Patrick Radden Keefe offers not just a forensic account of a brutal crime but a vivid portrait of the world in which it happened. The tragedy of an entire country is captured in the spellbinding narrative of a handful of characters, presented in lyrical and unforgettable detail.

A poem by Seamus Heaney inspires the title: 'Whatever You Say, Say Nothing'. By defying the culture of silence, Keefe illuminates how a close-knit society fractured; how people chose sides in a conflict and turned to violence; and how, when the shooting stopped, some ex-combatants came to look back in horror at the atrocities they had committed, while others continue to advocate violence even today.

Say Nothing deftly weaves the stories of Jean McConville and her family with those of Dolours Price, the first woman to join the IRA as a front-line soldier, who bombed the Old Bailey when barely out of her teens; Gerry Adams, who helped bring an end to the fighting, but denied his own IRA past; Brendan Hughes, a fearsome IRA commander who turned on Adams after the peace process and broke the IRA's code of silence; and other indelible figures. By capturing the intrigue, the drama and the profound human cost of the Troubles, the book presents a searing chronicle of the lengths that people are willing to go to in pursuit of a political ideal, and the ways in which societies mend - or don't - in the aftermath of a long and bloody conflict.",{"_813":829,"_815":838,"_789":839},{"_813":829,"_815":841,"_789":1094},"HarperCollins Publishers Limited",{"_813":829,"_815":820,"_789":1096},"UK-B Format Paperback",{"_813":829,"_815":846,"_789":847},{"_813":829,"_815":849,"_789":850},{"_813":829,"_815":852,"_789":1100},"BRITISH & IRISH HISTORY_IRELAND; TRUE CRIME",{"_813":829,"_815":855,"_789":1102},"2019-08-22",{"_813":829,"_815":858,"_789":1104},"528",{"_813":829,"_815":823,"_789":1106},"William Collins",{"_813":861,"_815":350,"_789":1031},{"_813":861,"_815":731,"_789":1031},{"_813":861,"_815":1110,"_789":865},"onorder_auckland",{"_813":861,"_815":864,"_789":831},{"_813":861,"_815":867,"_789":865},{"_813":861,"_815":1114,"_789":1115},"last_received_auckland","02/09/2026",{"_813":861,"_815":869,"_789":1117},"29/07/2026",{"_813":861,"_815":1119,"_789":1120},"price_auckland","30.0",{"_813":861,"_815":872,"_789":1120},{"_813":861,"_815":1123,"_789":1124},"stock_auckland","19",{"_813":861,"_815":874,"_789":875},{"_813":877,"_815":878,"_789":1127},"True Crime",{"_813":877,"_815":350,"_789":1127},{"_813":877,"_815":731,"_789":1130},"Irish History",{"_813":877,"_815":882,"_789":1132},"TRUCRI",{"_813":877,"_815":1134,"_789":1132},"codes_auckland",{"_813":877,"_815":884,"_789":1136},"IRIHIS",{"_813":877,"_815":886,"_789":1138},"TRUE CRIME",{"_813":877,"_815":1140,"_789":1138},"sub_auckland",{"_813":877,"_815":889,"_789":1142},"EUROPEAN HISTORY",{"_813":877,"_815":891,"_789":1144},"SOCIETY, CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY",{"_813":877,"_815":1146,"_789":1144},"main_auckland",{"_813":877,"_815":894,"_789":1148},"HISTORY",{"_813":877,"_815":896,"_789":1150},"NON FICTION",{"_813":877,"_815":898,"_789":1150},{"_813":877,"_815":900,"_789":1153},"CRI,HIS",{"_813":877,"_815":1155,"_789":901},"department_auckland",{"_813":877,"_815":903,"_789":1157},"HIS",{"_766":1159},[1160],{"_769":116,"_770":-5,"_130":1161,"_209":1162,"_780":1166,"_786":1167,"_17":1169,"_790":1170,"_792":1171},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/43581457858757",{"_773":1163,"_775":776,"_130":1164,"_35":1073,"_778":1165},"Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder & Memory in Northern Ireland Cover Image","gid://shopify/ProductImage/34873140281541",1336,{"_782":783,"_784":1120},[1168],{"_751":752,"_789":1169},"Default Title","9780008159269",{"_794":1172},[1173,1176],{"_797":1174},{"_799":116,"_133":1175},{"_751":347},{"_797":1177},{"_799":116,"_133":1178},{"_751":729},{"_130":1180,"_17":1181,"_742":1182,"_761":1183,"_810":1185,"_764":1243},"gid://shopify/Product/7917067829445","Guest List","guest-list",{"_35":1184},"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0625/6679/3413/files/The_20Guest_20List.jpg?v=1716548936",[1186,1187,1189,1190,1191,1192,1193,1194,-5,1196,1198,1200,1201,1202,1203,1204,-5,1205,1206,1208,-5,1210,1211,1212,1213,1214,1215,1217,1218,1220,1221,1223,1224,1226,1227,1228,1230,1231,1232,1233,1234,1235,1236,1237,1238,-5,1239,1240,1241,1242],{"_813":814,"_815":17,"_789":1181},{"_813":814,"_815":817,"_789":1188},"FOLEY LUCY",{"_813":814,"_815":820,"_789":821},{"_813":814,"_815":823,"_789":824},{"_813":814,"_815":1081,"_789":827},{"_813":814,"_815":826,"_789":827},{"_813":829,"_815":830,"_789":831},{"_813":829,"_815":17,"_789":1195},"The Guest List",{"_813":829,"_815":817,"_789":1197},"Lucy Foley",{"_813":829,"_815":836,"_789":1199},"The No.1 Sunday Times and the New York Times bestseller

Follow the ingenious mysteries of the 'Tuesday Night Club' with this hardback special edition of Agatha Christie's complete Miss Marple short stories.

'I think that Miss Marple is at her best in the solving of short problems; they suit her more intimate style.' AGATHA CHRISTIE

Two years before The Murder at the Vicarage, Agatha Christie introduced the world to a new group of amateur sleuths: a policeman, a vicar, a solicitor, an author, an artist - and an unassuming lady with a shrewd gaze.

As one of the Tuesday Night Club, Miss Marple was called upon to solve stories of murder and intrigue, crimes so complicated that they had confounded even Scotland Yard.

This revised edition of The Tuesday Club Murders and Other Stories reprints all 13 'problems' from that first book, plus all the subsequent Marple stories written by Agatha Christie - an irresistible omnibus featuring St Mary Mead's sharpest mind and everyone's favourite armchair detective.
