Main character: Jack Reacher
Summary: Jack visits a city to hear a band, but ends up helping an ex-solider get out of some serious trouble
Detail: Reacher stumbles across scammers and organised crime, followed by a former soldier who unknowingly needs Reacher’s help. Together they unpick a smuggling operation and expose a potential major scandal. Plenty of action. Gripping story.
The best bits: Busting the investment scam.
The worst: Yes, we know Reacher is good at estimating the time of day, but using him as a reference to decide a clock on a microwave oven is a minute out did detract from the story.
