Hitching rides is an unreliable mode of transport. In temperatures of over a hundred degrees, you're lucky if a driver will open the door of his airconditioned car long enough to let you slide in. That's Jack Reacher's conclusion. He's adrift in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer, and he needs to keep moving through the wide open vastness, like a shark in the water. The last thing he's worried about is exactly who picks him up. He never expected it to be somebody like Carmen. She's alone, driving a Cadillac. She's beautiful, young and rich. She has a little girl who is being watched by unseen observers. And a husband who's in jail. Who will beat her senseless when he comes out. If he doesn't kill her first. Reacher is no stranger to trouble. And at Carmen's remote ranch in Echo County there is plenty of it- lies and prejudice, hatred and murder. Reacher can never resist a lady in distress. Her family is hostile. The cops can't be trusted. The lawyers won't help. if Reacher can't set things straight, who can?

Wonderful.

well crafted
Jack Reacher is on top his game in this thriller. While somewhat predictable Lee Child creates just enough doubt to keep readers turning the pages. The shootout in the desert will leave most readers holding their breath wondering if the invincible icon makes it out unscathed...

great action
as usual, Lee Child gives us a plot that is full of suspense and action. Reacher comes through with his unique talents to save the day.

A really good read
This book started out a little slow, and didn't get interesting until around page 75. After that it was a really good read and I couldn't put it down.
