Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had.
Reacher is there to meet—in person—the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone.
But it isn’t Turner behind the CO’s desk. And Reacher is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal consequences, and one too personal to even think about.
When threatened, you can run or fight.
Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his name, barely a step ahead of the army, and the FBI, and the D.C. Metro police, and four unidentified thugs.
Combining an intricate puzzle of a plot and an exciting chase for truth and justice, Lee Child puts Reacher through his paces—and makes him question who he is, what he’s done, and the very future of his untethered life on the open road. - excerpt from Amazon.com
Lee Child has brought Jack Reacher back again in this continuing storyline. Following his latest exploits, Reacher returns to Rock Creek, the place of the 110th he used to command when he was in the service, just to meet the current CO, a lady he had only talked to on the phone. From the time he arrives, things get interesting for Reacher as he finds out he has two very big problems to deal with: both of which require him to face justice or run.
I was a bit excited to get my hands on another Reacher novel, but was a bit disappointed with the ending. There is an issue about Reacher being brought back into active duty, but I didn't see any dismissal at the end of the story. Maybe it is an opening for another novel? Either way, the rest of the story is regular Reacher where there is an occasional fight, a little female companionship, and some bad guys getting what they deserve. Great for a day read!
