Tripwire, Lee Child, 1999

A very violent, upsetting, but gripping Jack Reacher story. Faced with the absolute evil of Hook Hobie (who turns out to be Carl Allen!), Reacher triumphs though severely injured and engages with Jodie Jacob, daughter of General Leon Gerber and Garber’s house in Garrison, New York. Will he marry and settle down? Next book might tell,
