This perfectly crafted thriller in the old, no-nonsense style is one in the series featuring loner Jack Reacher, ex-US military cop. Although the author is British, he brilliantly evokes the lonely Middle West landscape flawlessly handling the style and idiom. The gently relentless, fast action, sympathetic characters, knowledge of the American scene and all the insider details over the hardware used, as well as insights into the workings of governmental security forces, make this a riveting read.
