In this 13th Reacher novel, the former army MP confronts a possible suicide bomber on a nearly deserted Manhattan subway car--a confrontation that will lead him back to the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s and forward to the war on terrorism. It turns out that Susan Mark's life was critical to dozens of others in Washington, California, and Afghanistan ... from a former Delta Force operator now running for the U.S. Senate to a beautiful young woman with a story to tell, but can Reacher sort through their lies in time to save himself and help a woman police officer?

this Reacher installment has all the competence porn of a normal Reacher book, but lacks some of the plot coherency. to be honest, I'm not expecting things to reflect the real world, but I'd like them to follow some basic logic. for example, unnamed Feds disappear key witnesses, and then later put out APBs and release names to the press. if they're going to be blacks ops, be black ops. black ops don't reveal their presence to massive numbers of cops and the press. can't keep secrets that way. lazy plotting in this book.
