This was the first Jack Reacher book I read; it hooked me. It was a beat-up copy that I planned to read only in the whirlpool, then discard, but I couldn't put it down.

This was a good mystery featuring Jack Reacher who finds himself in the middle of an ongoing plot that threatens a small town. I liked how Jack and his new friends figure out the mystery and eventually outwit the criminals and I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Die Trying.
