Wow! Just Wow! Maybe the best book yet in the Hunt for Jack Reacher Series. Over the last few years I have read all of the Jack Reacher stories and all of the Hunt for Jack Reacher stories as well. This will be the 44th. And it is one of the best. And the next in this series have already been announced. This is the fifth I have read since that initial binge read. First I read the 29 Jack Reacher Novels and short stories by Lee Child. And then I read all the books in this series. This is the twelfth novel in the Hunt for Reacher Series, and the fifteenth story featuring Otto. In this one she finds out more about her new back up, William Burk. But Otto still has Gaspar in the wings helping out as much as he can. The source book for this volume was Lee Child’s Worth Dying For.  That one was not my one of my favourites in the Reacher series. But this is one of my favourite of all the Reacher stories I have read.

The cast of characters in this story is:

Kim Otto
William Burke
Carlos Gaspar
Charles Cooper
Lamont Finlay
Gamon Chen (called “GiGi”)
Mika Chen
Ying Chen (called “Jade”)
Amarin Chen (called “Alan”)
Roberto “The Elephant” Rossi
Thaddeus Sydney
Eleanor Duncan
Evan Vincent
Dr. Ezra Landon
Brenda Landon
Petey Burns
 
and

Jack Reacher

This story deals again with some pretty hot topics. Some of the harsher elements in the story are human trafficking, prostitution, the criminal underworld. And in this story we also have underground Muay Thai fights including to the death. We have siblings reconnecting only to become pawns in a much bigger story. We have several close encounters with Reacher, and get closer to him than Otto. And Otto has her own near death experience. And the story builds in pace and races to an explosive confrontations. 

This is another excellent story in a great series. One of the best of all the Reacher stories I have read. And it leaves you desperate for the next instalment in the series. Capri has done another excellent job in leading us on the hunt for Jack Reacher.
