This latest chapter in Lee Child's 'Jack Reacher' series grabs you by the collar on the first page and never lets you go. Ex-army MP Reacher is hired by a group of ex-Special Forces vets who now do security consulting, one of whose wife and daughter have been kidnapped. Reacher saw the ransom pick-up and the vets bring him in - first to identify the bag man and second to help find the kidnappers, since they haven't been heard from since the ransom was paid.

The clipped dialogue is right out of old detective novels, but the story gets more tantilizing as it goes. Its a great summer read and a worthy chapter in this series from mystery writer Lee Child.
