by Child, Lee
In Nothing To Lose, Lee Child’s twelfth Jack Reacher novel, Reacher feels the exact dip in the road between Hope and Despair, Colorado every time he crosses it. Although the two towns are only twelve miles apart, the difference in the soul of each town is as big as the difference between, well. . .hope and despair. When Reacher arrives in Despair, all he wants is a good cup of coffee before he passes on down the road. Unfortunately, the coffee is served with hostility, a vagrancy charge, and a ride out of town. Reacher takes his abusive treatment personally and the adventure begins. He finds an ally in Officer Vaughan of the Hope Police Department. Together, they begin to uncover the many secrets in the company town of Despair. Lee Child presents another explosive chapter in Jack Reacher’s story, Nothing To Lose.
