#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER “Pure, escapist gold . . . Mr. Child’s tough talk and thoughtful plotting make an ingenious combination.”—The New York Times Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, ex—military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter–a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right–and soon the slam-dunk case explodes. Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning–and then beat him shot for shot.

Manly men doing manly things. It's a whole genre unto itself. This is the 9th book of the Jack Reacher series (currently there are 14 of them). And Jack Reacher is the manliest of men. He's reasonably good-looking, six-foot-six, about 250 pounds of muscles and many scars. He's an ex-Army MP living a rootless existence and finding trouble wherever he goes. When a sniper kills six people in a plaza in Indiana, the sniper is quickly found and says “Get Jack Reacher for me.” Naturally, all is not as it seems. The pages flew in this book. I knocked it off in under a week (which is fast for me). This is only the 2nd Jack Reacher book I've read but probably not the last.
