Digging a swimming pool by hand in Key West, former miltary policeman Jack Reacher is not pleased when Costello, a private detective, comes nosing around asking questions about him. Determined to keep out of trouble Reacher conceals his identity. But when he finds Costello dead with his fingertips sliced off, he realizes it is time to move on - and move on fast. Yet two questions worry him: who was Costello's employer, the mysterious Mrs Jacobs? And why is she determined to find Reacher? Moveover, who is Hook Hobie, the vicious and amoral manipulator in a Wall Street office who preys on other people's assets? As Reacher follows the trail, it becomes clear that the stakes are high: the livelihood of a whole community; the fate of the soldiers missing in action in Vietnam; and, not least, the reappearace of a woman from Reacher's own troubled past with a key to his destiny.

I am really enjoying this series. Sometimes I think authors can be too descriptive but in this book the explanations of the searches and checking carried out by Reacher emphasises how much care he was taking. I also had a great picture of Hook Hobie' s office in my mind thanks to the descriptions. At the end I was hoping Chuck Stone was going to get his act together and come to the rescue but I should have known better.

On it's way in the (little) ring.

:) received, will try not to hold up too much. Got 3 books to finish before I can get to this one, however intend to get my reading head on over the long weekend. Thanks

Third book in the Jack Reacher series - fast paced, predictable (in parts) and another thrilling episode for me - looking forward to Number four the Visitor (S)

Welcome to Bookcrossing!

You have found a travelling book. Why not join in the fun? Read, release and pass on but don't forget to write a Journal Entry telling us where you found the book, if you read it what you thought about it and where you are going to leave it. If you join bookcrossing before you do the entry you will get an alert when the next person writes up about it and can track its travels. If you prefer to just leave an Anonymous Journal Entry, it will brighten up my day either way. Oh and if you like the book sooooo much you just don't want to let it go that is fine too, maybe one day eh :)

Enjoy!!

Passed on to Cross-patch over lunch.

Thank you, now I can read No. 2!

I thought I should give Jack Reacher another try. The story telling is superb and kept me on the edge of the seat, but I had to suspend credibility too far for my taste. Time went fast though, and I had to keep stopping in order to brave up for the next section!
