Product Description
All is not well in Margrave, Georgia. The sleepy, forgotten town hasn't seen a crime in decades, but within the span of three days it witnesses events that leave everyone stunned. An unidentified man is found beaten and shot to death on a lonely country road. The police chief and his wife are butchered on a quiet Sunday morning. Then a bank executive disappears from his home, leaving his keys on the table and his wife frozen with fear. The easiest suspect is Jack Reacher - an outsider, a man just passing through. But Reacher is not just any drifter. He is a tough ex-military policeman, trained to think fast and act faster. He has lived with and hunted the worst: the hard men of the American military gone bad.
Amazon.com Review
When Jack Reacher suddenly decides to ask a Greyhound bus driver to let him off near the town of Margrave, Georgia, he thinks it's because his brother once mentioned that the famed blues guitarist Blind Blake died there. But it doesn't take long for the footloose ex-military policeman to discover that there are plenty of strange--and very dangerous--things going on behind Margrave's manicured lawns and clean streets that demand his attention. This first thriller by a former television writer features some of the best-written scenes of action in recent memory, a crash course in currency and counterfeiting, and a hero who is just begging to be called on for an encore.

mikecounselman (USA: CA) (2009/04/02):
I've read three of the Jack Reacher stories and won't be reading any more. Very cliched and comic book like. Too many amazing coincidences, and too much tough guy invincibility. In one he continually picks on a woman because of her teeth. Infantile. Even his military service is wrong. MP's were routinely reviled by the troops. If you want a tough guy that is flawed and believable try Robert B. Parker or Pete Dexter. If you want a comic book hero, read this one, or Clive Cussler. GTMike
