Books with title The Hard Way:

Reacher orders coffee in a foam cup, not china - that way he can move on at a moment's notice. He owns nothing and carries less. He's never met a woman who said no. He's never had a case he couldn’t solve. But this new case is disturbing. Truth eludes him. He must sweat the details, work the clues. He must do it the hard way. Until what started on a busy New York street explodes 3,000 miles away - in the sleepy English countryside. Reacher strides alone in the shadows – armed, dangerous, invincible.

Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the street to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. The car contained one million dollars in ransom money. And Edward Lane, the man who paid it, will pay even more to get his family back. Lane runs a highly illegal soldiers-for-hire operation. He will use any amount of money and any tool to find his beautiful wife and child. And then he’ll turn Jack Reacher loose with a vengeance - because Reacher is the best man hunter in the world. On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer’s past…and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He’s beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he’s already in way too deep to stop now.
