In a quiet Chicago suburb, a dentist is attacked in his office and forced into the trunk of his own car. On a sidewalk downtown, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight. Reacher and the mysterious woman are held hostage for ransom. With only their wits and a mutual trust, she and Reacher must escape from a wilderness prison and the grasp of a man bent on revenge.


Addictive as the other ones in the series.

On its way to the Swiss Alps.

Received from France as part of a spiral... not sure where this heads when I'm done with it... Thanks for sending!

Second in the Jack Reacher series... quite the super hero, so very gratifying to read from that point of view. As I don't do well with violence, whether in real life, on the screen or on the page, there were parts of this I found very difficult to read, but the plot carries the reader. Reacher's deductive skills are enjoyably impressive, and the heroine in this one is also very admirable (yet again, left by the wayside at the end, even if, at Reacher's encouragement, she's the one who does the leaving...). Not that I always need “i”s dotted and “t”s crossed, but I did find the identity of the mole a bit confusing. (don't want to create a spoiler so will stop at that vagueness).
