The 19th Jack Reacher adventure finds our hero pulled into an international law enforcement investigation trying to stop a sniper from attacking the upcoming G8 summit. For a warm up the prime suspect has taken a shot at the French president and he happens to be an ex-Army marksman that Reacher put in prison 15 years ago and is currently in the wind. Who better to track down an elusive assassin than the man who previously caught him? This time out JR is teamed with a young CIA analyst named Casey Nice and they’re off to London via Paris with a ticking clock to beat and two criminal gangs running interference.
This time around it’s all business and despite having an attractive partner Reacher’s got no time for romance. An old general who cajoles Reacher into assisting in the hunt calls him ‘Sherlock Holmeless’ in an on-target jab at JR’s wandering lifestyle. Anyway, Reacher drinks a lot of coffee as usual and with an assist from British intelligence manages to neutralize a Serbian gang and take down the leadership of a domestic gang of ruthless thugs and eliminate the ex-Army assassin while leaving a trail of bodies all over London.
Another enjoyable Jack Reacher story. I enjoyed the twist at the end.
