Nothing to Lose is the 12th Jack Reacher book by Lee Child.Reacher's plan is to head to San Diego. He found himself in upper Maine and thought it would be interesting to work his way diagonally across the US. When he stops in Hope, Colorado and sees that the next town is called Despair he figures it is worth seeing just to say he had been there.
But when he enters the town of Despair he is not welcome. The people in the restaurant will not acknowledge him. A few minutes later four large men arrive to show him out. Reacher's philosophy is that he will not mess with you unless you mess with him - and then there are no rules.
Soon he is in the Despair jail. Next he is deposited on the border between Despair and Hope. A Hope police officer gives him a ride back into her town.
But now Reacher's plans to get to San Diego are on hold. He does not like being told what to do so he is on his way back to Despair to see what is wrong with the town.
Child has created a great character in Jack Reacher. He is tough, fair (in his way), and someone you would want in your corner in any fight.
