From the books blurb:
"Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn’t get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was born. He thinks, What’s one extra day?He takes the detour."
Any reader of suspense knows taking the detour will not be a one extra day affair. No, Jack finds his father's hometown and oh, so much more. Why does no one want him to stay around town. Even the good guys want him gone.
There are two plots : Finding our roots: Just who was his father? What kind of young man was he?
The Most Dangerous Game: Why are maniacs chasing a young couple? Do either the young couple or the maniacs have any relationship to Jack Reacher? The chase here is reminiscent of The Most Dangerous Game, one of my all-time favorites.
I had never read a Lee Child novel before this one, but it will not be my last. It was well written, moving the action along quickly and with interesting side characters, good and bad.
All Lee Child and Jack Reacher fans should love this book.
I was sent this book for an honest review. Available at all bookstores and online.'s
