But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, from the world he lives inno phone, no address, no commitmentsexmilitary investigator Jack Reacher is coming. In Lee Childs astonishing new thriller, Reachers arrival will change everythingabout a case that isnt what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shotand by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth. The gunman worked from a parking structure just thirty yards awaypoint-blank range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. His victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But when Reacher hears Barrs own words, he understands. And a slam-dunk case explodes. Soon Reacher is teamed with a young defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle, Reacher is at his best. Moving in the shadows, picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher, the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness and respect his cunningand then match him shot for shot.

An easy and enjoyable read, and a bit different from the movie

Mehso-so

Not my usual genre. It‘s confirmed that action books with good guys and bad guys is definitely not my thing.

The story was interesting and well written enough to keep me reading to the end. The pacing was good, however the short sentences became a bit much after a while. As for Reacher himself? Apologies to any fans out there, but he‘s my idea of the worst kind of character! Annoyingly perfect and unbelievable 🤢 bad guys are much more fun!

Jack Reacher would obviously be “in his element” at camp since he walks all over the country with nothing but the clothes on his back and a toothbrush. But wherever he goes, he seems to find drug dealers or sex traffickers, so I imagine he‘ll be on the lookout for nefarious types in the camp so he can beat them up and serve justice😂😂 #litsysummercamp @ImperfectCJ

One Shot is one of the better Jack Reacher installments, IMHO. One of the things I liked the best was the teamwork. I know that it's counter to his usual lone wolf story lines, but it's good to shake things up occasionally!

Reacher is called in for a mass shooting which appears to have been done by a veteran. However, the evidence is just a little too overwhelming and there‘s something obviously wrong in town. The story moves quickly with lots of action.

A complex who done it that only Jack Reacher can solve. A soldier from Reacher‘s Army past is arrested for killing 5 random people in a sniper shooting. Reacher assumes he‘s guilty and shows up to help put him away.

Reacher comes to town with only his clothes on his back and a toothbrush, stumbles onto something going on in town that‘s dangerous, beats some folks up, and leaves town.
