About this ebook
'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes' Mick Herron
'The thing about Lee Child's books is that you can't put the damn things down. . .there's something about his writing that's addictive. The Enemy is no exception. . .Superb.' Independent on Sunday
_____________
North Carolina. New Year's Day, 1990. A soldier is found dead in a sleazy motel bed.
Jack Reacher is the officer on duty. The soldier turns out to be a two-star general.
The situation is bad enough, then Reacher finds the body of the general's wife.
This stomach-churning thriller turns back the clock to a younger Reacher, in dogtags. A Reacher who still believes in the service. A Reacher who imposes army discipline. Even if only in his own pragmatic way...
_________
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Enemy is 8th in the series.
And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***OUT NOW***

Diverting from the usual Jack Reacher template that has served him well, Lee Child kept me on the edge of my seat until the very last page with a great plot that doesn't stop twisting and turning. A great read with good development of the hero we all know and live.

This one explains how he was demoted to Captain. A little slower than other reads, but it's hard not to get wrapped up in the story line.

Not my favourite from LC (somehow the gore seemed unnecessary or a bit contrived) but still an easy read and page turner.
