Another book has topped the popular "Fifty Shades of Grey" series.

"A Wanted Man" by Lee Child is now #1 on the New York Times Combined Print & E-Book Fiction list, and "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James is #2. It is also #1 on the Hardcover Fiction list and E-Book Fiction list.

The next book in the Jack Reacher series also topped "Fifty Shades" on USA Today's Bestseller's list.

The 416-page book was published by Delacorte Press on Sept. 11. It is described:

"Reacher is back! A Wanted Man is a new masterpiece of suspense-from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child.

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that don't add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia.

An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified.  Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there.

All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat-to both sides at once.

In Lee Child's white-hot thriller, nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious, keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale."

"A Wanted Man" got some rave reviews:

"Child is a superb craftsman of suspense."-Entertainment Weekly
 
"The truth about Reacher gets better and better."-Janet Maslin, The New York Times
 
"Implausible, irresistible Reacher remains just about the best butt-kicker in thriller-lit."-Kirkus Reviews
 
"Like his hero Jack Reacher, Lee Child seems to make no wrong steps."-Associated Press

"Lee Child [is] the current poster-boy of American crime fiction."-Los Angeles Times

Other reviews are mixed:

"This book was so bad that it made me crabby to read it. I am such a fan of the Reacher series that I can't believe how awful and painful of a read this was. The story is painfully slow ... and boring. No exaggeration, Reacher is in a car on the world's most boring car ride for the first 30 chapters of the book."

"Disappointing read. I know that it is coming to the end of this series, and I wanted to love this book; but I just didn't." 

"3.5 stars, bumped down to 3. I enjoyed the beginning and middle of this book more than I did the end. If the end had been as good as the rest, I'd've probably given it 4 stars. I don't think it packed the usual punch of a Reacher novel."

"I had been looking forward to a new Jack Reacher book for a really long time (close to a year). I love these books. This book was good, but it wasn't as good as others that Lee Child has written. I got the feeling that he was rushed while writing it."
