Jack Reacher, hailed as "a wonderfully epic hero" by People, confronts Texan hatred and hidden crimes in this superb new thriller. Ex-military cop Jack Reacher returns in this latest in the award-winning series critics call "spectacular" (The Seattle Times), "relentless" (Denver Post), and "perfect" (The New York Times Book Review). Reacher is hitching through the heat of West Texas and getting desperate for a ride. The last thing he's worried about is exactly who picks him up. She's called Carmen. She's a good-looking young woman, she has a beautiful little girl . . . and she has married into the wrong family. They're called the Greers. They're a bitter and miserly clan, and they've made her life a living hell. Worse, her monster of a husband is soon due out of prison. So she needs protection, and she needs it now. Lawyers can't help. Cops can't be trusted. So Reacher goes home with her to the lonely ranch where nothing is as it seems and where evil swirls around them like dust in a storm. Within days, Carmen's husband is dead-and simmering secrets send Echo, Texas, up in flames.

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.
