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 trying his best to remain anonymous. He is digging pools in Florida !! But his anonymity is being probed and prodded by a man, who turns out to be a private detective. When Jack tries to get in touch with him the man turns up murdered. When Jack tries to probe more into this, he is confronted with his past. Jack likes no strings to the past and yet here he is faced with his mentor and his mentors daughter, his ward, his responsibility. She seems to be involved in a deal. But when Jack probes further the clients turn out to be a salacious, greasy character known in the underworld as Hook. Why would Jodie be dealing with Hook? Is her life in danger? Or is there more than meets the eye?
This book is one of Lee Childs better efforts. 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.
