Jack Reacher walks alone. Once a go-to hard man in the US military police, now he's a drifter of no fixed abode. But the army tracks him down. Because someone has taken a long-range shot at the French president. Only one man could have done it. And Reacher is the one man who can find him. This new heartstopping, nailbiting book in Lee Child's number-one bestselling series takes Reacher across the Atlantic to Paris - and then to London. The stakes have never been higher - because this time, it's personal.

Thoughts

This was probably one of the weaker Reacher stories in the series. The characters weren’t entirely memorable, and the story about an old sniper coming back and making it personal felt a bit far-fetched, even in Reacher’s world. I didn’t like the character of Casey Nice, but I did think it interesting seeing Reacher work with someone who wasn’t entirely kick-ass, who was still learning and growing and had anxiety and stuff. Interesting in places, but I think we’ll just move swiftly on from this one.
