In an era when global thriller franchises are being reshaped by blockbuster adaptations and massive book universes, few names command attention like Lee Child and Andrew Child. With the Jack Reacher series now a full-fledged streaming sensation and among the most successful thriller brands ever published, the brothers return with one of 2025’s most eagerly awaited novels.

Penguin is proud to present Exit Strategy, the 30th instalment in the Jack Reacher saga—and arguably the most ambitious yet from the world’s No. 1 bestselling masters of high-octane fiction.

Marking three decades of a character who transformed the modern thriller, Exit Strategy lands at a time when Reacher’s impact is stronger than ever. The Amazon Prime Video adaptation continues to dominate viewership charts around the world, with India ranking consistently among its top markets. A whole new generation has discovered Reacher, and this novel builds directly on that explosive momentum.

The story opens with Reacher in a Baltimore coffee shop—a routine morning disrupted when someone quietly slips a note into his pocket. What follows is classic, turbocharged Reacher: three stops, one enigmatic message, and a dangerous chain of events that pulls him into a conspiracy where every choice is fraught with peril. Set against the raw, restless energy of Baltimore, the book injects a sharp, contemporary jolt into the iconic Reacher universe.

Positioned as a major global release, Exit Strategy is set to dominate the 2025 thriller landscape with extensive international media coverage, high-impact promotional moments, and deep-dive features celebrating both Reacher’s legacy and his continued cultural power.

Publications are invited to spotlight this landmark release—a chance to explore the phenomenon of Jack Reacher and the remarkable storytellers who made him a worldwide icon.
