Book Description:
Thumbing across the scorched west Texas desert, loner Jack Reacher has nowhere to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is pretty Carmen Greer.
But for Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen's got a story to tell, and it's a wild one. All about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that's pure Gothic.
She's also got a plan. Reacher's part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.

Fans of the Jack Reacher series will enjoy the display of his deductive skills in this story of an abused wife in the outback of Texas. Readers who are not yet fans will also admire his Dr. Gregory House approach to solving a mystery or, in this case, a nested series of mysteries surrounding an attractive Mexican-American wife and the imperious old west family she has married into. Reacher pairs up with a beautiful lesbian lawyer to fight an archaic Texas legal system as well as some very skilled professional killers in this thriller that is as wide ranging as the well-painted Texas landscape it is set against.

Of all the authors who write series books I really like Lee Child - eash and everyone of his Reacher books can be enjoyed on its own. And while Reacher's physical prowess is almost beyond belief his intelligence is what usually saves him. Because of his character's background he has an open field to put him in new situations and environments. This is a opportunity that Child uses to his advantage and you don't feel that you are reading the same book again & again. Few authors are as good at this as Child - If you like to see you leading character again & again - I recommend this series.

I didn't like this one as much as others he's written. It just didn't hold my attention as much as some of the others. His vivid description of Texas did make me want to visit Texas again.

Reacher keeps on kicking ass and getting it right

Average. 2/3 of the book is a somewhat plodding setup for an intricate and clever finale.

3 out of 5 stars

Jack Reacher is hitchhiking in Texas ahen Carmen Greer picks him up. He finds himself involved in another nail-biting adventure. A great plot.

Jack Reacher is hitchhiking and is picked up by a pretty Mexican senora. The charge for the ride is for Reacher to kill her abusive husband who is being released from jail. Very good story.

Another in the very good series by Lee Child. Reacher saves the day again on the hot dusty plains of West Texas.

This a Jack Reacher book. Jack is a former military cop who travels in search of justice for those in need. Great action novel without too much thinking required.
