I am used to the Jack Reacher, ex-US military cop who is the loner drifter who opts to live life outside of normal society. Tough and uncompromising yet a good guy who wants to right wrongs. This novel was published in 2003.Reacher gets involves in a kidnapping and takes out two of the bad guys as well as by accident a policeman. The family of the child he saved takes him in but all is not what it seems with the Beck family. The family is not on the level but they are clearly some way down the food chain of crime as other higher criminals are calling the shots.
Reacher discovers the truth behind the facade and puts wrong to rights. He also manages to rescue a damsel in distress that, of course, introduces some love interest into the novel.
There are also some time travel moments to ten years before that add to the mystery of the novel before all is revealed at the end of the novel. Lee Child improves with each Jack Reacher novel and this is no exception.
8/10 from me.
