Echo Burning

Echo Burning by Child,Lee. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780593046593.

Ex-military cop Jack Reacher returns in this latest in the award-winning series critics call ""spectacular"" (The Seattle Times), ""relentless"" (Denver Post), and ""perfect"" (The New York Times Book Review). Reacher is hitching through the heat of West Texas and getting desperate for a ride. The last thing hes worried about is exactly who picks him up. Shes called Carmen. Shes a good-looking young woman, she has a beautiful little girl...and she has married into the wrong family. Theyre called the Greers. Theyre a bitter and miserly clan, and theyve made her life a living hell. Worse, her monster of a husband is soon due out of prison. So she needs protection, and she needs it now. Lawyers cant help. Cops cant be trusted. So Reacher goes home with her to the lonely ranch where nothing is as it seems and where evil swirls around them like dust in a storm. Within days, Carmens husband is dead-and simmering secrets send Echo, Texas, up in flames.
