Featuring Jack Reacher, hero of the new blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise, in his coolest, sexiest, punch-packing thriller yet
March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Mississippi. Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier?
Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover. The county sheriff is a former U.S. Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or doesn't she really want to find the killer?
Set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, The Affair marks a turning point in Reacher's career. If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him?

However, as with most of his books, there is just too much nothing in the middle and it's really starting to annoy me. The main reason I keep reading is because we listen to the books in the car and it definit...
Zaczyna się interesująco. Jack pojawia się w Pentagonie, bo wysłał jasny sygnał że wie coś o jakichś śmierdzących brudach, i może część z nich wyjdzie na zewnątrz. Spodziewa się że spod jakiegoś kamienia wypełznie ktoś, kto mu będzie chciał przeszkodzić. Gdy trafia już do pułkownika Frazera, ma miej...
Book 16, in the Jack Reacher series“The Affair” is effectively a step back in time to 1997, the single most crucial point in Reacher’s life, when he gave up his structured career as a military cop and decided to become a drifter with skills to offer. In this undercover adventure, he lets his hair gr...
I'm going to have to say this is one of my favorite Jack Reacher novels. The story goes back to 1997 and explains what led up to Reacher leaving the army. It also explains Reacher's eccentricities in a way I found totally believable. I'm ready to let go of my "Oh c'mon, why would he do that?" attitu...
