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 the blistering heat of Texas, Jack is doing what he always does. Walking and awaiting a ride. But is anyone going to give a six foot five, dangerous looking, sweaty stranger a ride? That too when the rugged landscape is eerily empty and blistering?
A cadillac does stop. It is a very preety, young woman offering Jack a ride. But it has a hitch attached. The lady's husband is in jail. When he comes out he is going to kill her.
Jack agrees to help her, but is there more to the story than meets the eye? Her husbands family is clearly hostile, the cops cannot be trusted and lawyers wont help.
But there is an understory of killing of the border crossers. Isthe local police involved?
A gripping story of human debasement, domestic violence and corruption.
Another must read Jack Reacher novel.
