Blue Moon

a Jack Reacher Novel
No doubt thinking. No doubt about his wide network of bribes paid, and palms greased, and backs scratched, and favours owed, and hair-trigger early warning tripwires carefully set in place. Any or all of which should have alerted him long ago. But he had heard nothing. From anywhere. === ‘Do you have children?’ ‘I don’t think so,’ Reacher said. ‘None that I know of, anyway.’ === Categorically impossible to penetrate from the sides. Or even approach. Or from below. Or from above. === ‘I don’t see how we get in.’ ‘We?’ ‘Sooner or later your luck will run out. You’ll need the Marines to rescue you. You army boys always do. Much more efficient if I prevent that necessity upfront, by supervising the operation from the get-go.’
