Tripwire

Brilliantly conceived and tautly written, 'Tripwire' is a powerful, nail-biting thriller which hooks you in from the very first page, and which confirms Jack Reacher as a maverick hero of epic appeal. Former military policeman Jack Reacher is not pleased when Costello, a private detective, comes asking questions about him. Determined to keep out of trouble, Reacher hides who he is. When he finds Costello dead with his fingertips sliced off, he realises it is time to move on. But two questions worry him: who was Costello's employer, the mysterious Mrs Jacob? And why is she determined to find Reacher?
