Synopsis
Two small towns in the middle of nowhere: Hope and Despair. Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher can't find a ride, so he walks. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four hostile locals, a vagrancy charge, and an order to move on. They're picking on the wrong guy.
Reacher is a hard man. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing at all, except hardheaded curiosity. What are the secrets that Despair seems so desperate to hide?
With just one ally—a mysterious woman cop from Hope—and many enemies, Reacher goes up against a whole town, hunting the rich man at its core, cracking open his terrifying agenda, asking the question: Who has the edge—a man with everything to gain, or a man with nothing to lose?

Reviews
I heard a lot of bad stuff about this book from other book sites. Most complained that Lee Child was putting too much of his own personal political feelings into it. What else is a fictional book beside the writer's personal feelings, political or otherwise? I found it just as good as other Reacher books, if not better. I didn't think Child steered Reacher in a different direction, as I had heard others saying. Seemed to me it was a logical choice, based on what I remember of other books. Reacher is pulled into a problem and while he could have just walked away, that's not his style. So he did what he could to make it better. I highly recommend this book.
Child blows one. Read his other books and skip this one.
