The Affair / Lee Child/ 405 pages

Jack Reacher has been around in bestselling novels for awhile. In The Affair, Lee Child explains how Major Reacher of the Military Police came to be the travelin' man who rides the bus, doesn't have a suitcase, throws away clothes and buys new, drinks lots of coffee, and prefers diners. He's the man who digs deep to get to the bottom of things and extracts justice in his own way. I'm not a Reacher reader so this was a good book to start with and I definitely want to read more. Reacher is one of those characters that seep under your skin. I would say he is Dexter with a collapsible toothbrush.
