Make Me

Reacher steps off at a railroad stop in Mother's Rest, a tiny town set in a thousand square miles of wheat fields. He wants to know one thing: the reason the town has that name. Nobody will tell him, and the locals are sullen and watchful.

A worried woman named Michelle Chang takes him for someone else, her missing partner in a private investigation. She believes the case began small and turned lethal. Reacher has nowhere to be and plenty of time, and something about Chang holds his attention, so he joins her and starts asking around.

The search pulls him through LA, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco, and into the hidden corners of the internet. Thugs and assassins turn up at every stop. He expects the matter to be small, and it is not.

The trail leads back to Mother's Rest, where he faces the worst nightmare he could imagine. This is a Jack Reacher thriller that moves fast from a small-town mystery to a cross-country chase, with a hero who could walk away and will not.
