Jack Reacher. Hero. Loner. Soldier. Soldierβs son. An elite military cop, he was one of the armyβs brightest stars. But in every copβs life there is one case that changes everything. For Jack Reacher, this is that case.
New Yearβs Day, 1990. In a North Carolina motel, a two-star general is found dead. His briefcase is missing. Nobody knows what was in it. Within minutes Reacher has his orders:Control the situation. Within hours the generalβs wife is murdered. Then the dominoes really start to fall.
Somewhere inside the vast worldwide fortress that is the U.S. Army, Reacher is being set up as a fall guy with the worst enemies a man can have. But Reacher wonβt quit. Heβs fighting a new kind of warβagainst an enemy he didnβt know he had. And against a conspiracy more chilling, ingenious, and treacherous than anyone could have guessed.
β¦ most of The Enemy concentrates on the widening military murder plot, and on defining Reacher as a determined enforcer. In a world full of changing boundaries and moral ambiguities, he emerges as a classic noir loner, and a very charismatic one, despite his willingness and ability to inflict damage on those who he thinks deserve it. It is worth underscoring that these books, while crackling with assertiveness, do not present Reacher as a loose cannon. They avoid the ugliness of an action hero with too free a hand.
