false 108942 19 Now on his own for 10 years, Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on his back—no phone, no ties, and no address—he's a hard man to find. A loner, comfortable in his anonymity and solitude. Performing the impossible isn't so difficult for Frances Neagley, who manages to locate Reacher by using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells Reacher a harrowing story about the brutal death of a one of their own. Soon they reunite with the survivors of their old team and race to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a mystery that grows more opaque with every new piece of information. With lives at stake, the team falls back together with apparent ease; their motto still holding true: You do not mess with the Special Investigators. 1053240 book 15 5 2007 Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher Series, #11) total:2022|5:544|4:874|3:504|2:85|1:15| 2022 7913 2566 275 5 2 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 29 15:17:08 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 01 13:26:14 -0800 2007 Mrs. Ebarvia

This series is totally addictive; hard not to love Jack Reacher a loner with few ties, tough ex-military, and one that is fanatically interested in codes, numbers and probabilities.
