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.
