The hero of this series is Jack Reacher. Lets get it straight at the start of the review. He is a man’s hero and a woman’s dream man. No nonsense, less emotions, less of mushy wooshy stuff.  Tough exterior, good looking in a rugged way. Drifter, who doesn’t have any strings, nor any loose ends. Retired trained Military police, or in his own words: the man who keeps trained killing machines in check and order. Absolute expert in weapons and martial arts. Doesn’t fight often, but when he fights you have to call in the insurance people…. for the place and the people. Do I have your attention?


Jack Reacher is drifting along and reaches a decrepit town in Georgia. Reacher takes his break there and walks on a whim into Margrave to honour a guitar played who died there 3 decades ago. Its Reacher’s bad luck that there is a murder in town, and he being the only stranger, the murder is pinned on him. Will Reacher have met his match in the law? Will he be doing time? And what is it about this town that everyone is so fearful and reluctant to talk.?

An good read, an action packed thriller. The book : One Shot is now a major motion picture starring Tom Cruise.
