The Hard Way: A Jack Reacher Novel

By Lee Child
ISBN: 978-0-440-24103-4

"Jack Reacher was alone, the way he liked it, soaking up the hot, electric New York City night, watching a man cross the streat to a parked Mercedes and drive it away. the car contained one million dollars in ransom money because Edward Lane, the man who paid it, would do anything to get his family back."

The above synopsis intrigued me. Jack Reacher was an investigator in the military... Now (in the book) he is a bum. But, for some reason he finds situations that need his touch. This time a woman and child have been kidnapped. But, Edward Lane, the husband, doesn't unhappy about the loss of his wife, but not the loss of his step-child.

The plot is interesting. I really enjoy Jack Reacher, main character. The writing is good. I would give this book 4 stars.
