A WANTED MAN by Lee Child (A Jack Reacher Novel)

Finished Th 5/25/17  From the library Axis 360

Loved the book and was just trying to 'lighten it up' after wading through GINNY GALL.

From the page at amazon-

"Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that don't add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia.

An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there.

All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat - to both sides at once.

In Lee Child's white-hot thriller, nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious, keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale."

The final scenes in the missile silo in rural Kansas is really a bank for terrorists. Paper copies of all the accounts; nothing is online.


LEARNED-

100 divided by 81 is '1234567890 to eternity'

You can say all the numbers from one to one hundred without using the letter 'A'.
