All is not well in Margrave, Georgia. The sleepy, forgotten town hasn't seen a crime in decades, but within the span of three days it witnesses events that leave everyone stunned. An unidentified man is found beaten and shot to death on a lonely country road. The police chief and his wife are butchered on a quiet Sunday morning. Then a bank executive disappears from his home, leaving his keys on the table and his wife frozen with fear. The easiest suspect is Jack Reacher - an outsider, a man just passing through. But Reacher is not just any drifter. He is a tough ex-military policeman, trained to think fast and act faster. He has lived with and hunted the worst: the hard men of the American military gone bad.… (plus d'informations)
crazybatcow: If you like how Reacher gets things done without worrying about niceties such as legality, you'll probably like Eisler's series too - though Eisler is a bit more descriptive and a bit less violent.
The TV show was a guilty pleasure. Male ego wish fulfillment. Pow. Blam. Pretty women. I thought, maybe the books have a bit more to them. Nope. Less. Imagine if Spenser wasn't witty. Imagine a generic small town, a world full of ridiculous coincidences. Is our hero bright and perceptive, or is he surrounded by morons. Fortunately, the writing saves this, maybe? "The big dark sedan rolled north through the night like a stealthy animal leaving its lair." Nope. The author wrote a long, pat-himself-on-the-back foreword before this dreck, too. ( )

My agent is Darley Anderson in London; my editors are David Highfill in New York and Marianne Velmans in London. This book is dedicated to the three of them, in appreciation of all their efforts, which went way beyond the call of duty.

Evaluate. Long experience taught me to evaluate and assess. When the unexpected gets dumped on you, don’t waste time. Don’t figure out how or why it happened. Don’t recriminate. Don’t figure out whose fault it is. Don’t work out how to avoid the same mistake next time. All that you do later. If you survive. First of all you evaluate. Analyze the situation. Identify the downside. Assess the upside. Plan accordingly. Do all that and you give yourself a better chance of getting through to the other stuff later.

But I didn't need that. I had already committed it to memory.
