Worth Dying For (Jack Reacher #15)

Worth Dying For is the fifteenth Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child.

After the previous book I was not sure that Reacher was still alive. His adventures are always dangerous, but it did not seem likely that he could live through the last.

But here he is in Nebraska. He is on his way to Virginia to see a woman he might want to spend time with. Of course, when Reacher sees something he thinks is wrong, he fixes it.

This time he is mixed up in an area that is run by one family - the Duncans - who have everyone in the area dependent upon their trucking company for supplies. The nearest town is 60 miles south and other than one motel the land is all farms.

Lee has written another great story where layers upon layers are revealed with his unfolding of events. Reacher is a compelling character who takes the law into his own hands and brings bad guys to their knees.
