You do not mess with Jack Reacher. He is as close to untraceable as a person can get. A loner comfortable in his anonymity and solitude. So when a member of his old Army unit finds a way to contact him, he knows this has to be serious. You do not mess with the Special Investigators. In the past the elite team always watched each other's backs. Now one of them has shown up dead in the California desert and six more are missing. Reacher's old buddies are in big trouble, and he can't let that go.

Thoughts

This book was adapted for the second series of the recent Reacher TV show, so it was vaguely familiar to me as I read through. We have the return of Neagley, which is great, but also a few other characters who have worked with Reacher before and have a variety of loyalties and opinions on him. And the big mystery this time initially looks like it might be about their past but, as always, ends up being much more than anyone could have expected. Another good Reacher story!

Rating: 4 / 5
