Jack
Reacher takes an aimless stroll past a pawn shop in a small Midwestern town. In
the window he sees a West Point class ring from 2005. It’s tiny. It’s a woman cadet’s graduation present to herself.
Why
would she give it up? Reacher’s a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went
through to get it.
Reacher
tracks the ring back to its owner, step by step, down a criminal trail leading
west. Like Big Foot come out of the forest, he arrives
in the deserted
wilds of Wyoming. All he wants is to find the woman. If she’s OK, he’ll walk away. If she’s not … he’ll stop at nothing.
He’s
still shaken by the recent horrors of Make
Me, and now The Midnight Line sees
him set on a raw and elemental quest for simple justice.
Best advice: don’t get in his way.
