#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEREverything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. A lonely railroad track. A crime scene. A cover-up. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington. Reacher is ordered undercover to …
Reacher is ordered undercover to find out everything he can and then to vanish. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, Reacher meets local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux, who has a thirst for justice and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain they can trust each other, they reluctantly join forces. Finding unexpected layers to the case, Reacher works to uncover the truth, while others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to shatter his faith in his mission—and turn him into a man to be feared.

Lee Child came through again with a book that is hard to put down.
Beautifully written as well as being action packed and suspenseful. I gained new insights into Jack Reacher’ S character and how he became the wanderer. A very satisfying read.
I have read all of Lee Child’s “Reacher” novels and love the novels when he was in the Army best. The Affair defines Jack as Judge, Jury and Executioner. Another beautiful cop that I fell in love with too, how does he find them. I am willing to suspend dis-belief and let Lee Child’s characters flow from his typewriter.
Love John Reacher
I have read all of the Jack Reacher books.
Like Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch, you can’t go wrong with Lee Child’s Jack Reacher.
I love all the Jack Reacher books. Lee Child does it again with this book.
Not the best Reacher but certainly worth reading
This novel, along with every other Jack Reacher novel written by Lee Child, is an exceptional book. I have read every Jack Reacher and I can hardly wait for each and every new one to come out. Excellent reading and each one is different.
not our real jack reacher actions
Glad I finally started reading Lee Child and his cast of great characters
Great action packed book! Great characters that made you want to read more!
Jack reacher books are the best series since jason bourne.
I loved it
Jack Reacher, as written by Lee Childs, is always a good bet and this book does not disappoint!!
All Jack Reacher Books are page turners. I share an enjoyment of them with my husband, who has probably read a few more of them than I.
Like all of Lee Childs books this plot had many twists and turns. A great read
This first Jack Reacher novel is the one that started it all. Jack is an iconic character, and this is the book that explains how he became a rambling man. Not content to accept the lies the military told to cover up a serial killer in its midst, Jack searches for – and finds – the truth. Unfortunately, he steps on lots of toes along the way. A good read.
The best of the best; I have read nearly all of the Teacher books and have reread this the most. Sorry, my Kendal will not allow me to write Teacher.
Kept a hold on me to the very end.
