    Native Englishman and current New Yorker Lee Child returns to his bestselling Jack Reacher series in Personal. Action-packed, the novel follows Reacher back and forth across the Atlantic as he works to investigate the attempted assassination of the French president by a shooter the United States would happily disclaim—only to find that a plot, orchestrated by a master planner, is afoot. Who are the suspects? Through trips between the US and France and the US and England, Reacher tries to unravel the conspiracy that prompted the assassination attempt in the first place—a conspiracy meant to return one man to power who had thought he had seen it slip away from him in his advancing age.
