His books are true page-turners and I have blazed through the first six in his Jack Reacher series in one month. His protaganist, Jack Reacher is an ex-military policeman who is a loner and wanderer. Trouble seems to find him though and then the fun begins! Seriously, even though he is quite a violent man, you will still
