 Nothing to Lose - Lee Child
 Nothing to Lose - Lee Child ... 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 redneck deputies who want to run him out of town. Mistake. They're picking on the wrong guy. Jack Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity. What is the secret the locals seem so keen to hide? A hard man is good to find. Ex-military cop Reacher is today's most addictive hero. Now he pulls on a tiny loose thread, to unravel conspiracies that expose the most shocking truths.

He heads through Despair stopping only to get a coffee in the restaurant and things take a strange turn. Not only will the waitress not serve him but she calls for the town's civilian deputies who come and attempt to run him out ... Read the complete review

After the events of 'Bad Luck and Trouble', lone wanderer Jack Reacher is back on his own, drifting his way into Colorado. The book takes place in two main settings; the aptly named towns of Hope and Despair. Hope is a pleasant town with friendly inhabitants and Despair is quite the opposite, with nothing but a single road stretching for miles between them.

Standing more than 6" tall and filled out with muscle, Reacher wanders the United States in order to see the place ... Read the complete review
