Bad
Luck and Trouble
Jack Reacher novel #11
by Lee Child
Jack Reacher, former military policeman
with no ties and just a folding toothbrush plus an ATM card, receives
a coded SOS from Frances Neagley, a former colleague. She learned
members of their elite team of army investigators are being killed.
A former MP, Calvin Franz, was dumped from a helicopter over the California
desert. He was a member of the special investigative team headed by
Reacher.
Together Reacher and Neagley discover Franz is not the only casualty of the group of eight. Three others are
missing and discovered brutally murdered. In their search, they become embroiled in a super-secret government
operation and international terrorism. They can trust no one and must find those behind this before they, too,
become victims.
This is Child's usual excellent escapist adventure. It is well written with rapid fire prose and banter.
Reacher is the solid, strong and silent type; a solitary drifter par excellence, who is as tough as nails
and will be anything necessary to get the job done, He does it against all odds. He is a good man to have on
your side. The action is fast-paced with the eye-to-eye battle scenes graphic and breathtaking.
Bad Luck and Trouble is guaranteed to keep the reader turning
the pages until the final confrontation. Just don't plan on any
other activity once you begin page one.
