First—a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing around. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There’s no problem. Nothing is missing.

Second—a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climates. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.

Third—wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy’s technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .

Ratings and reviews

Not the strongest of the Reacher novels. I think they are trying to find the right tone since they started writing together. Reacher is still one of the best characters out there, but this one and the last one have strayed a bit from the Reacher of the earlier novels.

just love the Reacher characters. I wait 1 year for the new book and finish reading it in 2 days. 363 more days until the next one.

As I started the book I was not it would be a good read. But you pulled it off it was great !
