Tripwire is the third book in the Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child. It was published in 1999 …

The main story begins with Jack Reacher working two jobs in Key West and bumping into a private detective who happens to be searching for Jack. Costello is working for a client named Mrs. Jacob, a name Reacher does not recognise.

Later on, whilst Reacher is working his night job as a bouncer in a strip club, two very suspicious-looking men also make inquiries about his location. Reacher attempts to follow them but instead finds Costello murdered on the sidewalk. Jack then flies to New York to find out why Costello was looking for Reacher and why he was killed for it. …

Though weaker than the first two books, I still enjoyed Tripwire.

I’ll download book 4, Running Blind (The Visitor). I’m keen to see how the author keeps the story fresh while still following the revenge formula.
