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.… (meer)
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.
Early one morning Jack jumps off a bus in the middle of nowhere and walks 14 miles down an empty country road. The minute he reaches the town of Margrave he is thrown into jail. As the only stranger in town, a local murder is blamed on him. However, it soon becomes clear that he is not the killer.
In een klein Amerikaans dorp worden enkele vreselijke moorden gepleegd. Hoofdverdachte is de ex-militair Jack Reacher, toevallig op doorreis. Als hij voorlopig zijn onschuld kan bewijzen, maar dan hoort dat een van de vermoorden zijn enige broer is, besluit hij het recht in eigen handen te nemen en door te gaan tot op het bot. De feitelijke daders beseffen dat Jack hun grootste bedreiging is en dus van kant moeten worden gemaakt. Een adembenemende thriller, met verve in de eerste persoon verteld, waardoor het verhaal nog aangrijpender wordt. De auteur creëerde met Reacher een indrukwekkend personage.

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.
