Nothing to Lose – Lee Child

The story follows Jack Reacher, a giant, wandering ex-military cop who travels with no bags and no destination. He walks a 12-mile stretch of empty road between two small towns in Colorado named Hope and Despair. Reacher only wants a simple cup of coffee, but local deputies in Despair try to force him out of town. Driven by pure curiosity, Reacher teams up with a female police officer from Hope to break open the town’s dark secrets. They soon expose a terrifying, hidden connection to a distant war.
