About this ebook

'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' Mick Herron

March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Mississippi.

Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier?

Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover.

The county sheriff is a former U.S. Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or is she trying not to find the killer?

Set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, The Affair marks a turning point in Reacher's career.

If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him?

_________

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Affair is 16th in the series.

And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.27, No Plan B! ***OUT NOW***

Ratings and reviews

This is about the worst book i ever read. It's stereotypical beyond belief, lacks any topic of interest, the characters are flat as playing cards and i regret wasting time on reading this.

1st Jack Reacher book I have read, will definitely read some more. Good plot, ending was predictable about half way through the book bit enjoyable none the less.

Yet another great Child's effort, how many authors can have a 16 novel run with the same character and still keep delivering the goods?
