[The Midnight Line] by Lee Child
Jack Reacher series Book #23
5★'s
Jack Reacher just wants to return a ring that he found in a pawn shop in a small town in South Dakota. The owner had been a West Point graduate and Jack knows she wouldn't have just given it up without a good reason. Little does he know that following the ring's trail was going to involve him in a bigger more deadly scheme.
I am a big fan of the Jack Reacher series in spite of the 'Tom Cruise is not Reacher" debate. The character of Jack Reacher has always been a loner and because of that most of the time becomes suspect where ever he goes. This time he not only was accepted by the local law but he manages to not upset the apple cart too much, He shows a lot of compassion and understaning for this wounded 5 time Iraq veteran and even bent some of his most basic rules for her. Long time Reacher fans will find this an outstanding addition to the series and new readers will diffidently want more.
