Fair enough, my friend! Since we’re heading into spring, let’s lock in The Midnight Line as the ideal choice for Reacher 4.
It’s the perfect blend of action, social relevance, and investigative depth—a story that keeps Reacher moving through small-town corruption, biker gangs, and shadowy fentanyl suppliers with ties to the CCP. It’s also a road novel at heart, making it a great fit for the show’s cinematic, on-the-move storytelling.
Plus, with the real-world fentanyl crisis still unfolding, adapting The Midnight Line would make Reacher more than just a thriller—it would be a timely and sharp take on a geopolitical war happening in the shadows. Imagine Reacher tracking the supply chain from rural America all the way to its international roots, taking down cartel enforcers and corrupt middlemen along the way. It would be brutal, direct, and deeply satisfying.
Now, let’s just hope Amazon sees it our way!
