THE AFFAIR by Lee Child

Finished Mo 6/11/12................My post at Good Reads.............................Although this is the new Jack Reacher novel (2011), it is a flashback to an incident that happened to Reacher in March of 1997. A killer of beautiful women is operating near a secluded military base in rural Mississippi, and Reacher is called in to work as a liaison between police and the Pentagon. And, Jack's new girlfriend, Elizabeth Devereaux, heads the local county police force, and she might be concealing sinister motives. A real page-turner, although this is not excellent writing, you can't beat the melodrama and it's always compelling..........................This is a link to a very detailed explanation of the novel's plot...............http://www.epinions.com/review/Lee_Child_The_Affair_A_Reacher_Novel_epi/content_582459494020?sb=1
