The Midnight Line

Jack Reacher Series – Number 22

From Goodreads: Jack Reacher is having a bad day.It would be a dumb idea to make it worse. Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It’s tiny. It’s a woman cadet’s graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it. All he wants is to find the woman. He’ll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle. If she’s ok, he’ll walk away. If she’s not … he’ll stop at nothing. Best advice: stay out of his way.

Not terrible at all but I am not sure Lee wasn’t trying a bit too hard to tell a story and present a political stance. All gets a little messed up in places and loses pace. Tries to pack his usual dynamics into the drama but with an overlay that is not the norm for Reacher. Interesting to see what he throws us next!
