Book description
Featuring Jack Reacher, hero of the new blockbuster movie starring
Tom Cruise, in his coolest, sexiest, punch-packing thriller yet
March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Mississippi.
Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy -
or is he a soldier?
Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in
undercover. The county sheriff is a former U. S. Marine - and a
stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the
Pentagon stonewalling her? Or doesn't she really want to find the killer?
Set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor,
The Affair marks a turning point in Reacher's career. If he
does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if
he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him?
