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 never forgets. And one guy who he would have liked to forget is Quinn, presumed dead …. until now. But now Quin had resurfaced, meaner. Novel starts with Reacher being witness to a gunfight in which a cop dies. And Reacher has to ignore it to protect and innocent citizen… or is it? Jack Reacher uses all his guile and some more to infiltrate a Mafioso family. But why would the drifter Jack get involved in what should really have been an FBI operation. Was Jack making it personal? If so why.? What looked like a simple business of rugs had some more sinister facets. ….. and Jack is in the midst of it, to pay a personal debt. 

An absolute must read, a buy to be treasured, action packed thriller. The book : One Shot is now a major motion picture starring Tom Cruise.
