The passengers are forced to stay with the residents of Bolton. Reacher of course is not allowed to rest and he is recruited to help out in the local police department solve a murder. The town of Bolton has a top security prison on the outskirts and this recent addition has brought lots of visitors to the town.
The police department appears not to be able to cope with the new demands and is currently protecting an elderly woman witness. However, if all of the sirens at the prison go off then they will have to abandon their witness.
Reacher of course is the knight in shining armour who provides extra protection to Mrs Salter. The snowy weather does not help the situation either but it adds to the eeriness of the novel and the loneliness of the setting.
The 61 hours refers to an event that is going to happen but we are not quite sure what that is, so we have to read on. This is linked however to the local biker gang who want to get to Mrs Salter who Reacher is protecting.
I enjoyed the atmosphere of the book, the snowy wilderness and being trapped in a town made me feel uneasy. There is no love interest in this book but I was on edge for a lot of the read. There is a cliff hanger ending to this novel too!
A 9/10 for me.
