About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Published as an audiobook, a long short story from thriller master Lee Child about the teenage Reacher, now also available in No Middle Name: the Collected Jack Reacher Stories.


July 1977. Jack Reacher is almost seventeen, and he stops in New York on his way from South Korea to visit his brother at West Point. The summer heat is suffocating, fires are raging in the Bronx, the city is bankrupt, and the mad gunman known as Son of Sam is still on the loose.

Reacher meets a woman with a problem, and agrees to help her . . . and then the power grid fails and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city that never sleeps into chaos.

What does a visiting teenager do in the dark? If that visiting teenager is Jack Reacher, the answer is: plenty.

Edge of you seat entertainment

What made the experience of listening to High Heat the most enjoyable?

It was a story that had you gripped from page one.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The local characters who all were involved in some kind of subtafuge.

Have you listened to any of Kerry Shale’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No this was the first time and would listen to more performances.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Stay on the train!

Short but sweet

An interesting hot night in New York for young Reacher to show his intelligence and wit at such a young age.

Not bad

Okay for a short story. Not worth a full credit wait until it is a low price so it won’t be bad for 5 chapters
