Keever is dead. We know this from the outset, because in the opening lines of ''Make Me'' he is being buried under the hog pen. There are reasons for this, not least because the ground is already churned up by the hogs, and anywhere else in this vast mid-west expanse of wheat fields would be terribly visible from the air.
This is the 20th outing for our man, who is not quite a hero, not quite an anti-hero. He's been a lawman of sorts; he now operates mostly outside of the law. Blood on his hands? Only the wrong kind, the kind that you might argue was justifiably spilt. Broken bones? Many of his own as well as those of what, for want of a better word, we'll call "the opposition". Reacher is the kind of hero that maybe we all secretly wish was allowed to roam the world, but who would no doubt, in reality, be caught, tried and in many a U.S. state get sentenced to death.
If you're still wondering if you should read this book, go into an old fashioned book store and pick up a copy of the paperback. Open the cover and read the endorsements from [[:Category:Patricia Cornwell|Patricia Cornwell]], [[:Category:James Patterson|James Patterson]], [[:Category:Karin Slaughter\|Karin Slaughter]], [[:Category:Susan Hill|Susan Hill]], [[:Category:Michael Connelly|Michael Connelly]], [[:Category:Ken Follett|Ken Follett]], [[:Category:Stephen King|Stephen King]], [[:Category:Joanne Harris|Joanne Harris]], [[:Category:Lucy Mangan|Lucy Mangan]], [[:Category:Malcolm Gladwell|Malcolm Gladwell]] and Frederick Forsyth. If the list alone doesn't convince you… well, what more can I say?
I can tell you…
Not a niggle in sight from me this time. I loved this one from start to finish…which was no time at all.
If you're only now hearing about this series, we can heartily recommend [[Personal by Lee Child|Personal]] – or elsewhere in thriller-land and as far away from the prairies as it's possible to get, why not head over to London for [[In the Dark by Mark Billingham]]. [[Lee Child's Jack Reacher Novels in Chronological Order]]
