Random House presents the audiobook edition of the short story The Christmas Scorpion by Lee Child, read by Jeff Harding.

Jack Reacher likes to head south for the winter, to stay warm: so just before Christmas he arrives in a small town in Southern California. But the weather there is not warm and dry, as itโ€™s supposed to be: he arrives in a freak blizzard. Reacher finds refuge in a snowed-in roadhouse with four other strangers stranded by the storm. Two of them are British military police, separated by the weather from the VIP they are detailed to protect. Can Reacher help them find their guy, or will an undercover assassin find him first?

Lee Child is one of the worldโ€™s leading thriller writers. He was born in Coventry, raised in Birmingham, and now lives in New York. It is said one of his novels featuring his hero Jack Reacher is sold somewhere in the world every nine seconds. His books consistently achieve the number-one slot on bestseller lists around the world and have sold over one hundred million copies. Two blockbusting Jack Reacher movies have been made so far. He is the recipient of many awards, most recently the CWAโ€™s Diamond Dagger for a writer of an outstanding body of crime fiction, the International Thriller Writersโ€™ ThrillerMaster, and the Theakstons Old Peculier Outstanding Contribution to Crime Fiction Award.
