Gone Tomorrow

Gone Tomorrow is the most recent book published in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. I have read most of the books in this series, and really enjoy them. I recently bought this one along with another at Barnes and Noble, and read this one over break. Reacher is the main character, an ex-military policeman with no residence and no permanent ties to anything. He basically drifts around all over the United States, doing odd jobs and getting involved in numerous cases and mysteries. This particular case pertains to an investigation into a top secret Delta Force mission that occurred in the 1980's. Reacher is dragged in to it when he witnesses the women with the information shoot herself in the head on a subway at 3 a.m. in Manhattan. He is interviewed by NYPD officials, private investigators, and then federal agents. Then it gets bizarre. The agents refuse to identify themselves, and Reacher decides to look in to this incident further himself. He enlists the help of the dead woman's brother and a helpful NYPD Detective, and together they begin to track down lead after lead. They are lead on a wild goose chase which connects to ex-soldiers, army missions, and even a congressman running for Senator. This book is a thriller, and always keeps you on the edge of your seat.
