For Jack Reacher, being invisible has become a habit. He spends his days digging swimming pools by hand and his nights as the bouncer in a local strip club in the Florida Keys. He doesn't want to be found. But someone has sent a private detective to seek him out. Then Reacher finds the guy beaten to death with his fingertips sliced off. It's time to head north and work out who is trying to find him and why.

Thoughts

Reacher is a compelling character so it’s always interesting to start a book in this series. There were two fascinating sides to this story - first watching Reacher grapple with the idea of owning a house and settling down and not wandering the world with no ties anymore. And then the bigger story around veterans that are missing in action and the ongoing search for answers for the families left behind. I loved both sides of this and found it a really interesting read, so that I’m looking forward to the next book in the series already.
