For the first time, twenty exciting stories by the top crime fiction author Lee Child are gathered in a collectible edition, introduced by the author himself.

In "Relatively Safe," portraits drawn from the depths of humanity in its best and worst forms are presented: killers, CIA agents, gangsters, and many others. A professional hitman who deals drugs confesses his fears to a stranger. A neglected rookie cop, whom no one takes seriously, is assigned the police department’s file. A ruthless killer only kills bad people. A methodical bodyguard resigns when the person he is assigned to protect turns out to be smarter than himself. A military operation is planned flawlessly…

Each story is unique. With its uncluttered language and unexpected twists, each could have only been written by the creator of the #1 hero of modern crime fiction, the iconic Jack Reacher.
