Another “Oh my God coincidence” lands Reacher in the middle of a murderously complex situation, this time in Echo County, Texas. A Mexican woman, mother of 6 ½-year-old Ellie, picks up the hitchhiking Reacher and several murders later, Reacher is in a gun battle with two assassins on a deserted mesa in the middle of a rain storm. Lucky he has Harvard Law grad, Alice Aaron, a Jewish lesbian, to help him. Oy Vey. A good 24 hour read to clear the palate.
