    Scott Brick returns to perform the justice-seeking, iron-man Jack Reacher from Lee and Andrew Child’s Better Off Dead. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss this latest that will appeal to the authors’ many fans. Brick’s voicing of Reacher brings listeners right into Jack’s thoughts as he makes his way to the West Coast and gets distracted on the Arizona-Mexico border by an ex-Army woman looking to rescue her brother. Brick ratchets up the tension in an audiobook full of action.
