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?


In one of the many heartland cities of America, during the noon, around lunch hour, 6 shots are fired indiscriminately into a crowd of innocent people. This random shooring leaves 5 dead.

But within hours the cops have it all solved and wrapped up. .... or as they call it a slam dunk case. The have picked an ex army veteran with all the clues matching........ Except one thing....

The accused man keeps on repeating :Youve got the wrong guy..... and Get Reacher for me.

Reacher responds to a veterans call and steps in to investigate this act of random vileness. Or is there more to these 6 shots than meets the eye?
