Running Blind

A Jack Reacher Novel
Lee Child

Reacher once again, out of his own sense of justice, gets in trouble by trying to do the right thing. His favorite restaurant is getting hit up for protection money. So he goes and knocks the protectors around. In the process, gets picked up by the FBI and ends up getting entangled with their psychological profiling division to try to find a killer. He is tangled because apparently he fits the profile of the killer. So instead, he does his own thing and works with his agent babysitter/partner to solve the crime. The crime (on the surface) being to kill the women in the service who came forward with harassment claims and won. A bit of hokum with the hypnotism (but I will chalk that up to early Lee Child before he figured it all out). I also think the struggle of Reacher is interesting as he is really searching for whether he can be a normal guy (homeowner, girlfriend, job, etc.)
