Book Description:
Digging a swimming pool by hand in Key West, former military policeman Jack Reacher is not pleased when Costello, a private detective, comes nosing around asking questions about him. Determined to keep out of trouble, Reacher conceals his identity. But when he finds Costello dead with his fingertips sliced off, he realizes it is time to move on - and move on fast. Yet two questions worry him: who was Costello's employer, the mysterious Mrs Jacobs? And why is she determined to find Reacher? Moreover, who is Hook Hobie, the vicious and amoral manipulator in a Wall Street office who preys on other people's assets?
As Reacher follows the trail, it becomes clear that the stakes are high: the livelihood of a whole community; the fate of the soldiers missing in action in Vietnam; and, not least, the reappearance of a woman from Reacher's own troubled past with a key to his destiny.

Jack Reacher - how to describe him? You want him as your protector, your brother, your lover. And yet there is that place where he is almost too scary to have around while you are sleeping. The character grows in this book and we find out more about his Army family than we have before.
Could not put it down!

Sharon D. from DILLSBURG, PA wrote on 11/8/2007...Thriller that deals with Vietnam issues. Great book. Nice twist at the end.
Engrossing premise established in a two page prologue. Starts strong, ends strong, with some gaps in the middle.
3 stars out of 5
Paul S. from CORINTH, MS wrote on 4/21/2007...I've read 5 of the Jack Reacher books so far, and this is my favorite. It has a really great villain and I had no idea about the final plot twist.
If you like mystery, murder, gross violence, sprinkled with a bit of romance then you will love this book. The drifter Jack Reacher gets into the middle of this army related crime. I think this is one of the best books I have read in a long time.
Debbie B. (Lee Child has done it again. Tripwire is a book I could not put down.
Kathy D. from LYNCHBURG, VA wrote on 3/26/2007...Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is in Key West enjoying his self. A stranger shows up asking lots of guestion--too many. Hours later, the man is dead. Good book.
I love Lee Child. But this book just never took off for me.
Third in the Jack Reacher series. Reacher has to end the machinations of a disgruntled VietNam vet.
Keeps you in suspense! Great Jack Reacher read!
