Worth reading: Yes

Summary: After a bit of a scuffle in a bar with an off-duty red-neck police officer, Reacher has to make a quick exit from the small town. Hoping against hope for a lift by anyone to anywhere fast, he stands on the side of the road in the baking heat. Time is running out before the local constabulary see him, when he's picked up by a young woman.

Carmen has been driving around the state with the last dollar to her name in her purse. She's looking for someone. Someone scruffy looking, strong and looking like they need money. Someone to kill her husband. She finds just such a person standing on the side of the road in the baking heat.

Yet another unputdownable "Reacher" novel by Lee Child.
