The review of this Book prepared by Alex Watterson




Reacher is profiled as a serial killer by the FBI. They watch his activities, force him through threats to cooperate in their investigation. He's eliminated as a suspect after a humiliating interrogation. One threat after another finally gains his cooperation. Being a former major in the Army, and a military policeman, he's outraged by the FBI tactics. But he decides to cooperate, against his better judgement, in trying to solve the serial killings of former Army women who filed harassment charges against their former superiors and left the service.
