We go back into Reacher's past with this 2004 novel. It is the end of the cold war and the Berlin wall is coming down, it is 01 January 1990. The conflict is winding down when military policeman Jack Reacher gets a call to investigate a dead soldier found in a shady hotel. He passes on this and tells the local police to look after it.However the dead soldier turns out to be a general who should have been in Germany. Then why was he found in North Carolina dead in a hotel room. Reacher goes to the general's house to break the news when he finds the dead body of the general's wife.
Reacher has to investigate what is going on. As ever he needs all of his super brain power and physical attributes to right the wrongs. We enjoy going along for the ride, wishing that we could be the tough man Reacher.
8/10 for me.
