false 2211221 11 Two small towns in the middle of nowhere 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 hostile locals, a vagrancy charge and an order to move on. They're picking on the wrong guy. Reacher is a hard man. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing at all, except hardheaded curiosity. What are the secrets that Despair seems so desperate to hide? With just one ally—a mysterious woman cop from Hope—and many enemies, Reacher goes up against a whole town, hunting the rich man at its core, cracking open his terrifying agenda, asking the question: Who has the edge—a man with everything to gain, or a man with nothing to lose? 2217009 2002 Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Series, #12) total:1545|5:292|4:580|3:481|2:147|1:45| 1545 5562 2097 294 2 4 false false Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 19:03:20 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 21:24:26 -0700 2008
