Bad Luck and Trouble

About “Bad Luck and Trouble”

From a helicopter above the California desert, a man free-falls into the night. In Chicago, a woman discovers an elite team of ex-army investigators is being killed one by one. In Portland, Jack Reacher is pulled from his wandering life by a code only his old team understands. Lee Child’s 2007 novel plunges Reacher into a conspiracy that is killing old friends and leading to something worse. A decade after leaving the military, Reacher has little more than an ATM card and the clothes on his back. Frances Neagley, a woman from his old unit, finds him using a signal only the eight members of their team would recognize. She tells him about the brutal death of a comrade. Reacher reunites with surviving team members to uncover a mystery that grows darker, as two comrades go missing and the trail leads to Vegas and international terrorism. Reacher reacts to every sound, suspicion, and moment, trusting the people he once trusted. He follows the trail to the end, knowing that targeting him and his team means facing what comes back at them.
