Another good outing from Lee Child in the Reacher series. In this one, Reacher finally makes it back to his old home base -- the 110th MP -- to meet up with the current CO, Major Susan Turner, who he had talked to on the phone back in 61 Hours. However, when he gets there, Turner has been arrested on a bribery charge and Reacher gets accused of a 16-year-old homicide. To pursue this charge, Reacher is also reinstated into the Army! He also finds that a paternity charge has been brought against him and he may have a 14-year-old daughter that he has never met. Well, as usual, Reacher sets out to disprove all of the above and ends up in a cross-country trip to do it. Eventually, he gets to to bottom of the charges and along the way, breaks a few arms and fingers (Reacher at his best). I did enjoy this one, although probably not as much as some of the earlier outings. So where will Reacher go from here - since he spent the last few books trying to get to Turner to ask her out to dinner? I guess we'll see next year!
