Book description
In 'James Penney's New Identity', in the dry desert of Southern
California, James Penney is laid off from the plant after seventeen
loyal years of service. With the threat of the bank repossessing his
treasured red Firebird, he goes on the run. But why are the cops so
hot on his trail? And who is the tall military policeman, built like a
weightlifter, who offers him a ride?
Set just a few minutes before the terrifying opening of the
bestselling Jack Reacher thriller Gone Tomorrow, in 'Guy Walks
Into a Bar', old habits die hard for Jack Reacher. He is always on the
look-out for trouble. When he stops at a bar in lower Manhattan for a
late night beer and some music, his eyes are drawn to a rich young
Russian girl and her bodyguard. Is she in danger? Who are those two
suspicious-looking guys sitting at separate tables, watching her?
These two short stories are part of the Storycuts series.
