No Return

Book that inspired the film starring Tom Cruise. Former military drifter Jack Reacher has left the snow-covered lands of South Dakota and arrived in northeastern Virginia, near the nation's capital. His goal? To revisit the headquarters of his former unit, the 110th Army Police. That old concrete building is the closest thing he's ever had to a real home, and he's there to meet—in person—the new head honcho, Major Susan Turner, until now just a captivating and promising voice on his phone. But it's not Turner he finds behind the commander's desk. And, when he least expects it, the good fighter is hit with two shocking pieces of news. The first is a sixteen-year-old murder charge against a former suspect of Reacher's. The second is the appearance of a woman accusing him of being the father of her daughter, conceived in Korea during his service. Now Reacher is back in the Army, immediately recalled to enter martial jurisdiction, and confronted with an accusation he knows to be false and a possible conspiracy within the military. Now, while trying to learn more about the daughter he never knew he had, Reacher will also need to find Turner and clear his own name—even escaping from a military prison so he can hunt down the architects of a conspiracy. To do so, he will be forced to stay one step ahead of the Army, the FBI, and Washington Metropolitan Police... as well as four mysterious, unknown brutes. Reacher knows that when faced with a threatening situation, one can only flee or fight. And he always fights.
