Jack Reacher catches a tour bus through the frozen north of South Dakota.  When the bus finally makes it to the town of Bolton, Reacher finds himself in the middle of a drug war, a conflict which stretches from Bolton to Mexico to Russia to England and back in time to the end of World War II.  Reacher helps the local police protect and work on solving a case.  We find out more about Reachers life and his career before he got out of the Army.  It took me less than 24 hours to read this exciting page turner.  I am looking forward to the next Reacher novel which is scheduled for October.  Grade-A
