Author's 22nd Reacher thriller preceded by 'No Middle Name' and followed by 'Past Tense'.
After leaving his job as a Military Police Major,Reacher roams the US taking odd jobs. He'll arrive in town, come across someone who needs his help,solve a mystery and take out the bad guys,and then get on the next bus out of town.Reacher is never looking for trouble,but trouble always finds him.The Reacher books can be read in any order. Jack Reacher takes an aimless stroll past a pawn shop in a small Midwestern town.In the window he sees a West Point class ring from 2005.It's tiny.It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself.Why would she give it up? Reacher's a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it.
Reacher tracks the ring back to its owner,step by step, down a criminal trail leading west.Like Big Foot come out of the forest,he arrives in the deserted wilds of Wyoming. All he wants is to find the woman.If she's OK,he'll walk away.If shes not . . . he'll stop at nothing.
He's still shaken by the recent horrors of ' Make Me',and now 'The Midnight Line' sees him set on a raw and elemental quest for simple justice.
Best advice: don't get in his way.
Reacher once again in the Midwest,this time being thrust into an investigation involving the illegal opioid trade,the pharmaceutical companies that often turn a blind eye in the name of profits,and the people dependent on them.
