No Plan B by Lee Child and Andrew Child
This is the 27th book in the Jack Reacher series and he still has all the elements that make these books winners. Here, Jack is in a town in Colorado when he witnesses a crime and chases after the man who committed it. He is able to inflict some damage, and get a look at some of what evidence the man took with him, but he ends up getting left behind.
As he follows the clues that he has, and they lead him to another death, he finds that he might be looking at something much bigger and more evil than he thought.
His trail leads him to Texas and a private prison there, where a program to rehabilitate prisoners might be covering up something no one suspected. He is accompanied on his journey by a woman who has her own history with some of the people killed near the beginning, and who is intent on finding the truth to avenge them.
There is also a side story of a teenage boy in foster care in California, who discovers something that sets him on the road to Texas as well, where his path will eventually intersect with Reacher's.
As expected this is a page turner of a novel, with an intricate and compelling plot that I could barely put down.
Excellent, as usual.
