The Secret by Lee & Andrew Child

The 2nd season of Reacher on Prime launched yesterday – Dec. 14, 2023.

This book is an early story of Jack Reacher, when he was still military police. Second chronologically of the books.

Having read them all, I’d call this one average. That still puts it into one of my top 10 novels of the year.

And this is the 4th and last Reacher book where the original author, Lee Child, will still have his name attached. From here on his younger brother Andrew Child takes over 100%.

A string of mysterious deaths. A long-classified mission. ….

1992. All across the United States respectable, upstanding citizens are showing up dead. These deaths could be accidents, and they don’t appear to be connected—until a fatal fall from a high-floor window attracts some unexpected attention.
 
That attention comes from the secretary of defense. All of a sudden he wants an interagency task force to investigate. And he wants Jack Reacher as the army’s representative. If Reacher gets a result, great. If not, he’s a convenient fall guy.
 
But office politics isn’t Reacher’s thing. Three questions quickly emerge: Who’s with him, who’s against him, and will the justice he dispenses be the official kind . . . or his own kind?
