Reacher had no idea where he was. No idea how he had got there. But someone must have brought him. And shackled him. And whoever had done those things was going to rue the day. That was for damn sure. Jack Reacher wakes up, alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. His captors assume Reacher was the driver's accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk.

Thoughts

This Reacher book kicks off right in the heart of the action, with the itinerant hero coming round with a broken arm, a minor head injury, chained up and no memory of what went before. We have to try and unravel the story at the same time as Reacher does, and at first it seems like a minor inconvenience but gradually becomes a far-reaching and devious plot. As always, it’s up to our protagonist and his current female sidekick to figure it out and stop the criminals. It’s pretty formulaic at this point, but I did enjoy this one.

Rating: 3 / 5
