A Jack Reacher Novel
Lee Child
This is early Reacher, recently out of the army. He bumps into a woman on a crutch as she comes out of a dry cleaning place, setting in motion his involvement in a cross-country, white supremacist secession/kidnapping plot that involves the FBI and Military at the highest level. Reacher is his typical chivalrist self as he protects the girl and effectively prevents civil war all on his own. And in the end, just disappears into the sunset. I like how he is still struggling with who he is post-army, but never questions his value set, and responsibility to that value set.
And now having read this, I have completed all 22 Reacher novels. Time to look for a new series that can be tossed off when I need a quick read.
3 stars (out of 4)
