Tripwire


Another Jack Reacher novel. I cant say anything about this book other than i have become a fan of Child and Reacher. I am going to go slowly but surely through the entire Reacher series.
I think he is my second fav after Kenzie-Gennaro team.
Tripwire happens after Reacher is out of the army and is drifting. doing odd jobs. Till a guy comes lookin for him and ends up dead soon after that. Reacher heads out to New York to find out more about the guy who came looking for him and the mysterious client Mrs.Jacob who sent the guy in the first place.
He is in for a shock when he comes to know that Mrs.Jacob is none other than Jodie Garber, General Leon Garber's daughter. Reacher ends up in Garber home to see that Leon is dead...
Jodie and Reacher try to unravel the mystery surrounding Garber's last queries about the only son of the Hobies. He was supposedly missing in action during Vietnam.
The remainder of the story is fast moving and interesting. I like the hunour and primitive man like instincts of Reacher which makes him different from the other fictional heros.
