TRIPWIRE<\/strong> by Lee Child<\/p>\n First sentence…<\/p>\n Jack Reacher saw the guy step in through the door.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n Jack Reacher lives off the grid, traveling from place to place with just the clothes on his back. Reacher, a few years retired from the military at age 39, is enjoying life in Key West.\u00a0 For the last few months, he’s made his living digging pools during the day and bouncing at a local strip club at night.<\/p>\n Life is good.<\/p>\n Then one night a private eye named Costello shows up at the club looking for Jack Reacher.\u00a0 Costello is sent on his way after being told there’s no “Jack Reacher” there.\u00a0 A little later a couple of thugs show up at the club’s door.\u00a0 They’re also looking for Jack Reacher.\u00a0 Like Costello, they’re sent packing,<\/p>\n The next day a P.I. named Costello is found murdered.<\/p>\n Reacher decides to find out more about Costello and the two thugs looking for him.\u00a0 The trail leads back to one of Reacher’s former commanders, recently deceased, and his daughter, now a fully grown woman.\u00a0 While Reacher is meeting with her an attempt is made to kill them both.\u00a0 Reacher has no idea who is behind this or why.\u00a0 As he investigates, he learns the answer dates back three decades.\u00a0 As Reacher sorts out the mystery, a rich, badly burned, one-armed sociopath continues to work behind the scenes, torturing and murdering all in his path, to reach his final goal.<\/p>\n +++++ Bravo to Lee Child for creating a satisfying ending that resolves the mystery with enough action to satisfy the most hardcore fan.<\/p>\n Rating:<\/strong> TRIPWIRE by Lee Child First sentence… Jack Reacher saw the guy step in through the door.

\nThe villain of TRIPWIRE is a worthy adversary for Reacher.\u00a0 He breaks people mentally and then abuses them physically before slowly killing them.\u00a0 He’s rich, powerful and has thugs to do his bidding when he doesn’t want to dirty his hand.\u00a0 Yep, hand.\u00a0 He has just one.\u00a0 One the end of his other arm is a sharpened hook.\u00a0 Which he loves to put to “good” use.<\/p>\n
