![]() He gets involved with jobs that need solving, utilising his special skills to close out the mysteries. Reacher the character is a damn fine creation, an ex military bad ass who doesn't get found unless he wants to get found. He didn't fit the profile it was said, scorn was poured on the film, quite often by people who hadn't even seen it! So how refreshing to find that since I personally have no affinity to the Child books, and having never read anything by the author, I found a wonderfully old fashioned thriller.
