The Enemy by Lee Child is the eighth book in his Jack Reacher series and a flashback to Reacher's life in the Army.A great change was taking place in the world around New Years of 1990. The Berlin Wall was coming down and the USSR was on its way out. In the Army, Reacher was suddenly transferred from Panama to Fort Bird, North Carolina.
When a two-star general dies in a sleazy motel, Reacher goes - not to investigate, but as a sign of respect for the man's rank. From a simple heart attack, the plot twists and turns in a way only Child can do.
Fans will be grateful for chance to get to know Reacher's brother Joe and even their mother. Readers who haven't yet started the Jack Reacher series - what are you waiting for?
