The Affair

A Jack Reacher Novel
Lee Child

This entire novel is a flashback to Reacher's final case in his life as an MP. A murder takes place in a sleepy Mississippi town adjacent to Fort Kelham. An investigator is sent to the military base, and Reacher is sent to the town to run a joint investigation. This is the beginning of his exploration of what life would be like as a civilian, what he appreciates about life, and what annoys him. Some of this is clearly written as a necessary setup for the man that Reacher has developed into over the course of many novels, but overall provides subtle character support for the "future" Reacher.
