About this ebook
'There's only one Jack Reacher. Accept no substitutes.' Mick Herron
March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Mississippi.
Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier?
Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover.
The county sheriff is a former U.S. Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or is she trying not to find the killer?
Set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, The Affair marks a turning point in Reacher's career.
If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him?
_________
Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Affair is 16th in the series.
And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***OUT NOW***

One of Lee Child's best - Reacher's army origins, a small town with a sinister mystery and plenty of caveats and surprises along the way. Plus we get some rich character development along the way.

Lee Childs' whole Jack Reacher series is excellent reading but there are a couple within the series that were so hard to put down. This is one of them. Well done Lee 👊👊👊👊

This is about the worst book i ever read. It's stereotypical beyond belief, lacks any topic of interest, the characters are flat as playing cards and i regret wasting time on reading this.
