One Shot - Lee Child

One_Shot Well, that was the last of the Jack Reacher books until Gone Tomorrow is released in May! This wasn't the best story, only because there couldn't be another 300 pages unless the reader assumed a few things upfront. A former Army sniper shoots five people, seemingly at random, and after being awakened at his home, asks for Reacher, who shows up soon thereafter. The problem is that the sniper is beaten into a coma while sitting in jail, and Reacher had investigated him 14 years prior for a similar incident that he admitted to. So why ask for Reacher? The story moves at a good pace and is an entertaining trip (even if you know you've figured it out!).
