Description
In “Ten Keys,” a drug-dealing hit man feels that he must unburden his fears and guilt to a stranger. A rookie cop in “Normal in Every Way” is assigned to the department’s file room, where he makes connections to historic dates that could lead to solving crimes. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. A potential worker for the Manhattan Project is carefully surveilled by an FBI agent. A killer preys on other killers. Taken together, these stories are a riotous calamity of criminals and crime fighters; individually, they are expertly crafted, piercing tales that hit hard enough to leave a mark.
These twenty intriguing, thrilling, and rapid-fire fictions are sure to please new and longtime fans of Child and to illuminate a side of the author’s work unknown to Reacher devotees. Featuring a colorful new introduction from the author, the collection stands as the first book written entirely by Child in three years.

Lee has always been my favourite author since I found the Reacher series and these stories did NOT disappoint, I love that it's not a huge series and I can read them without having to commit, This is a perfect book to start Lee's writing if you've never read his work before, it gives you everything you want in a book.
As a big fan of Lee Child's Reacher books, I dove into this short story collection with high expectations. I wasn't disappointed. He can really write well developed characters and unexpected twists in the short story format. Highly recommended
