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…
