America has been brought to its knees by nuclear apocalypse. Decent citizens have united and are praying for a leader who can protect them. Rebel leader Ben Raines created the Tri-States, but no system is perfect: criminal gangs still roam the land, spreading havoc and violence, especially in Northern Maine. Reacher's life is interrupted by a stranger who comes looking for him. When the stranger turns up beaten to death, Reacher follows the trail and confronts the people who dispatched the dead man: an elderly couple still mourning a son lost in Vietnam; a woman from Reacher's own haunted past; and at the center of the web, an opponent more vicious than any he's ever faced. Willa Jansson sees her old friend, mythology professor Arthur Kenna, about to be arrested for brandishing a gun. Throwing herself between him and the police, she gets them out of the situation -- and under suspicion of brutally murdering Arthur's assistant, a Kwakiuti shaman also working for a reclusive computer designer. Hiding out in a mountain cabin near the crime scene, Willa and Arthur barely evade arrest. Saint Mudd begins with a haunting double murder and ends with the discovery of thekillers by Grover Mudd. In between, St. Paul. "the poison spot" of the Depression, comes teeming to life. The action moves through the pressure points nonstop from beginning to end, in a clamor of high energy and stylized set pieces that will remind readers of Doctorow's Billy Bathgate and Kennedy's Legs. Goldy Bear, an extraordinary caterer, is about to walk down the aisle with her beau, handsome and warmhearted county homicide detective, Tom Schulz. But just as Goldy has put the finishing touches on her sumptuous reception feast, she receives an urgent phone call from the groom himself. The wedding is off, and the reason is murder.
