Ricochet

Rachel Hatch #12.5

by L.T. Ryan, Fiona Ryan

A DEADLY PLAN. A GAME OF SURVIVAL. RACHEL HATCH IS THE WILD CARD.When the stakes are life and death, Hatch always bets on justice.Rachel Hatch didn’t plan on stepping into the chaos of a deadly armored truck heist. But when she witnesses the aftermath of a botched robbery, she’s drawn into a violent showdown against ruthless criminals. The thieves have a plan—and they’re willing to kill to see it through.

With lives on the line and no time to wait for backup, Hatch must outthink and outfight a cunning enemy who will stop at nothing to escape with their prize. Each move brings her closer to a deadly truth, one that could cost her everything.

The bullets are flying. The danger is real. And Rachel Hatch is about to make her enemies pay.

Explosive, relentless, and impossible to put down, Ricochet will leave you breathless. Fans of the unstoppable force of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, the razor-sharp intensity of Gregg Hurwitz’s Orphan X, and the fierce determination of David Baldacci’s Atlee Pine will be hooked until the final page.

Reviews

[Sharin Miller]

Ok

It would have been better if I hadn't already read all her other books first. But I loved the story.

[G&D]

This was an interesting book regarding Hatch’s after leaving the services of the army. It was very interesting as to how she handled herself and what her future might be. It helped to connect some dots of what Rachel was like and her thought process. The bringing in of Cruise and the heist to basically start Rachel down her path was good. This book read easily, was informative and showed how Rachel Hatch performed and thought. Awesome book

[Hal Pohlman]

I've read all of the Rachel Hatch books !! Just great reading & highly recommended !!!

I have read all of the Rachel Hatch adventures & thought that I must have missed this one !! Nope !!
By the first two pages, I realized that I had already read it........but I read it again anyway !!

If you are just starting this series I promise you won't be disappointed !!! I'm a "true fan" !!

[janis louthis]

Another exciting read with violence included

I have enjoyed Ryan’s books for a long time and Hatch has been one of my favorite characters. This was a good short story, full of excitement. However, I’m somewhat disappointed to see that her stories seem to be more focused on violence than craft and characters. I’ll reserve judgement until I read a few more of his books.

[Anne]

This story takes place immediately after Hatch is dismissed from the Army.

Hatch is offered a security job immediately after she is released from the army. She is still finding her way back from her life in Afghanistan, and 8ñset but now she feels outside of military she needs fresh start new people a w way w purpose

Perfect for Hatch's Fans
If you're a fan of the Rachel Hatch series, add this to your TBR list. It's short, but manages to bring still more insight to the warrior woman we've grown fond of. Those who have not yet experienced the wonder of this series will still find enjoyment in discovering this character and will likely want to start following the series.

[Gail]

A great start to the Rachel Hatch series!

Rachel Hatch has been discharged by the Army. She now needs to decide what to do with the rest of her life. Hatch goes for an interview in San Antonio, Texas to be head of security at a bank. L.T. Ryan and Fiona Ryan keep the attention of the reader to see what will happen next. I recommend this book. Happy reading! ☺️

[Debbie ONeill]

Way cool intro.

I'm a big fan of L.T. writings. I'm reading both of his other series with lady MC's. They are all great characters and have their own issues from their past. I think Hatch is going to be awesome.

[Mary E.]

Great start to new series!

I have enjoyed everyone of Ryan’s books and this one is no exception. This action packed book reveals that Rachel Hatch is fully capable of handling the bad guys. Am really looking forward to reading this series. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

[Gerald Shapiro]

A Quick dash that was worth the trip

As usually happens with Hatch, she gets caught up with a problem not of her making. She relies on her own experiences and saves the day always helping good people overcome injustice

[Robin Sizemore-Stewart]

So this is the final of the stories which tell about Rachel in between the novels. I finally have a grasp of where she came from why she’s made the decision she has and where she’s going from here. Can’t wait for the next in the series to come out

[Sharon Stutler]

Another winner

Exciting read. Didn't take long to consume this book. Another great read. Have to wait until December of 2025 for next book. 😌 If you haven't read Rachel Hatch series I highly recommend.

[Barbara Williams]

Interesting

This was a read that was just short enough to get the gist of the path Hatch intends to follow yet long enough to know how her wits, fast thinking and her bravery will lead to the right path. Her life's path.

[Robbie]

Very good. I'm enjoying the Rachel Hatch series and I rate this book 5 stars.

[Martin]

excited read

Quick and not easy to put down. Must read more Rachael Hatch! Worth the time spent. Learn more of origins and career.

[James J. Oleary]

Great short story

L.t.Ryan does not surprise you great story writer and this was another. Short story but great one again great job L.T.

[BRUCE ROTHERMEL]

Rebound

Could not put the book down! Hatch is full of surprise! Fast read. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

[Thomas]

Intriguing short story which propels us to another great Hatch mystery in the near future

[Peter Strauss]

Fun, Fast hitting Short Story

Nice story that further shows Hatch's determination and path. She'll be fighting the good fight for good people for a while!

[Susan Clair Holt]

Ricochet

Rachel is formally separated from the Army and is beginning her life of drifting to where she's needed starting with an interview and tour that leaves her saving the day.

[Tonya Bryner]

This novella appears to be a set-up for a female Reacher-type series. I'll wait to read the first full-length novel before passing judgement one way or the other.

[Gary]

Hatch 2.0

A back story about Hatch getting out of the military. She tries to find herself and finds trouble and a solution.

[Elyse]

Nice to go back and see how she started as a driver for justice

[Randy Pope]

Good intro

If you haven't experienced Hatch this short story is a good introduction. Best of the best. Follow the code help good people stopp bad people. Simple!

[Bernice Friedman]

I was looking for an action figure and she did it again. the problem in my reality is that this never happens. I loved it, i could not put it down. from a boring bank job (perhaps) she gets unbored.

[MR MARK D LEDGER-BEADELL]

Not as focused as usual

This book did not grab me. Could easily put it down. Not as good as others. Will.read next one now.

[Don Brenner]

Makes you want more

Hatch finds she needs action even in civilian life.getting involved in an armoured truck robbery Provides the reason for that decision.

[Patrick]

Ricochet

I’ve read most of the Hatch series of books. This is where it all starts. It’s a good beginning. I enjoyed reading it.

[Amanda Clevenger]

I wish this book was in order of the series.

[Stephen Washburn]

Rioochet

Not one of the best, but ok for an up date showing how,Hatch moved into her life style and her future.
