Two small towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher can't find a ride, so he walks. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four redneck deputies who want to run him out of town.
Mistake. They're picking on the wrong guy. Jack Reacher is a big man, and he's in shape. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing, except bloody-minded curiosity. What is the secret the locals seem so keen to hide?
A hard man is good to find. Ex-military cop Reacher is today's most addictive hero. Now he pulls on a tiny loose thread, to unravel conspiracies that expose the most shocking truths. Because, after all, Jack Reacher has nothing to lose.

      Initially, when listening to Lee Child's latest Jack Reacher novel, it seems as if narrator Dick Hill is speaking too slowly and without sufficient emotion. It only takes a few minutes, however, to appreciate the effectiveness of his performance, which quickly draws the listener into Child's gripping story. Like Hill's performance, Child's story seems superficial at first--it is the tale of two Colorado towns, Hope and Despair. But the lack of subtlety in the town names is outweighed by the depth of Child's story and characters. Reacher is an intriguing mix of brawn, brains, and bravado whose personality is enhanced by Hill's presentation. Hill also brings the book's other characters to life with verve, particularly Police Officer Vaughan, of Hope, and Mr. Thurman, the owner of the factory--and everything else--in Despair. D.J.S.

      At the start of bestseller Child’s solid 12th Jack Reacher novel (after Bad Luck and Trouble
      ), the ex-military policeman hitchhikes into Colorado, where he finds himself crossing the metaphorical and physical line that divides the small towns of Hope and Despair. Despair lives up to its name; all Reacher wants is a cup of coffee, but what he gets is attacked by four thugs and thrown in jail on a vagrancy charge. After he’s kicked out of town, Reacher reacts in his usual manner—he goes back and whips everybody’s butt and busts up the town’s police force. In the process, he discovers, with the help of a good-looking lady cop from Hope, that a nearby metal processing plant is part of a plan that involves the war in Iraq and an apocalyptic sect bent on ushering in the end-time. With his powerful sense of justice, dogged determination and the physical and mental skills to overcome what to most would be overwhelming odds, Jack Reacher makes an irresistible modern knight-errant.
