Worth Dying For

A Jack Reacher Novel
Lee Child

Reacher is on his way to Virginia when he gets dropped into a small town in Nebraska. And of course, he is dropped into the middle of a strange situation. This one feels more like a Hitchcockian drama than a CIA political thriller, but that kinda makes it fun. There is a local family that controls the county (and for comic relief, they use washed out Nebraska football players as their enforcers, with everyone refering to them as "cornhuskers" as if it is a job title). This family has a dark secret and Reacher ends up uncovering it, and then resolving the problem. And he teaches the local townspeople to have some backbone along the way.
