Don't Know Jack

This is actually the first novella of five in the Licensed to Thrill saga that Diane Capri wrote about author Lee Childs' character Jack Reacher. I've read all five of them in a package download on Amazon and they total the approximate length of a full novel. Apparently, Diane and Lee were haveing a conversation and she asked Lee “Where do you think Jack is, in between the adventures in your book?”

This is her attempt to tell Reachers story between Childs books. Her books are more about the team of FBI agents looking for him than it is about Reacher himself.

If you're looking for a Lee Child type of writing, this is not it.

FBI Special Agent Kim Otto has a special mission–find all she can about retired US Army officer Jack Reacher–for her very first lead assignment. She has almost no information other than a thin file that stops 15 years earlier and a specific location where to start her search for answers. She has no idea of what she is looking for or why.
Not long after she reaches her destination of Margrave, GA, she realizes that there is much more to the assignment than she was lead to believe. She is drawn into a string of murders, corruption, and money laundering that seem to be related to her assignment–she just isn't sure how.
This high-paced new series is a follow-up to Lee Child's popular Jack Reacher series. The story picks up in Margrave 15 years after Child's “Killing Floor.”
This is a great story with plenty of action to keep the reader engaged. I should point out that I have not read the original Jack Reacher series, but I still found the storyline easy to follow. I loved this novel–and I have added Child's series to my to-be-read list as well.
