After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota, former military cop Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His destination: a sturdy stone building a short bus ride from Washington D.C., the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. It was the closest thing to a home he ever had. Why?

Review of 'Never Go Back' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Jack Reacher travels across the country just so he can bang a woman, because he likes the sound of her voice. When he becomes embroiled in a comical frame-up, by two farcical villains, he realises that in order to bang this woman he must prove her innocence. Oh, and Jack might have a 14yo daughter, from a previous liaison.

You might enjoy this book if you think it’s okay for a 50+yo hobbo to fuck a 20-something professional. Personally I found the constant descriptions of her height, weight to be quite nauseating.

The movie that destroyed the film franchise was much better.
