Reacher witnesses part of a kidnapping, the payment. He decides to investigate the missing wife and step-daughter of a multi-million dollar husband. But, there's a twist and you're not sure who are actually the good guys....the husband and his band of soldiers-for-hire or the kidnappers.
Whenever you read The Hard Way make sure you have plenty of uninterrupted time for the last 10-15 chapters. Holy smokes!! When you find out who the bad guy really is you find out he's really, really evil. Maniacal. "Borderline mentally ill, people had said. Crossed that border long ago, Reacher thought." And, the Reacher action reaches a fever pitch. At one point I was heard shouting - out loud - "Oh no, hurry!"
I saw a t-shirt "What Would Reacher Do?" I know....The Hard Way. I'm going to gather the family around for a ten-thumbs' salute to this book. Extraordinary.
