Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, from the world he lives in--no phone, no address, no commitments-ex-military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. In Lee Child's astonishing new thriller, Reacher's arrival will change everything--about a case that isn't what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot-and by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth.... The gunman worked from a parking structure just thirty yards away-point-blank range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. His victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But when Reacher hears Barr's own words, he understands. And a slam-dunk case explodes. Soon Reacher is teamed with a young defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle, Reacher is at his best. Moving in the shadows, picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher, the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness and respect his cunning-and then match him shot for shot....

Another good read
Jack Reacher books are a series. They don't have to be read in order. I enjoy them all and read one about every 4th book and always take one on a trip because I know I will like it.I like Reacher because he is "no nonsense" and he interprets clues like Sherlock Holmes . He doesn't mind killing the bad guys. Also there is always a little sex ( a nice relationship). Just enough to make him human, not crude. He's rather galant. Reacher books are good enjoyable reads.

Jack Reacher solves a tough one
I have read all of the extant Jack Reacher novels, and have to admit I am addicted to the author's articulate writing style filled with fascinating stray facts (like word origins). I don't care that Jack Reacher is in some ways a totally unrealistic human being -- he is still interesting to read about. In this novel, he feels compelled by his gut feeling to help a confused veteran whom he definitely does not want to help on the intellectual level. The plot is rather ingenious, although perhaps not totally realistic. I really enjoyed trying to figure out how what seems like a straightforward crime scene really isn't, and what the title of the book really means.

Another excellent Jack Reacher novel
If you love thrillers and especially if you have read and enjoyed a Lee Child book before, you would enjoy this one. As a fast-moving quick read, it leads you into Jack Reacher's world, where everyone is suspect and everyone can be dangerous and the solution to most problems ultimately comes from a fist, a knife, or a gun. Reacher is the most extreme example of the lone ranger who rides into town, restores peace and justice, and rides off into the sunset. This novel has its plot flaws, but it is a good one.
