Jack Reacher.

The ultimate loner.

An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he’s moved from place to place…without family…without possessions…without commitments.

And without fear. Which is good, because trouble—big, violent, complicated trouble—finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once…not ever.

But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business.

Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it…justice.

3+: I hesitate to give this 4 stars. I didn't care for the frequent flashbacks (though I appreciate what the backstory contributed overall). I'm a fan of the series and will continue making my way through (now working in order; I've read several subsequent installments).

Yes, it's a thriller and (spoiler alert) the good guy wins in the end. On a night that I knew I had to wake up at 6:00 the next morning, I stayed up until 2:30 AM until I reached the end of this book. I just couldn't put it down. If thrillers are your thing, don't miss this one!
