The Enemy (Jack Reacher #8), Lee Child

A soldier is found dead in a sleazy motel bed.

Jack Reacher is the officer on duty. The soldier turns out to be a two-star general. The situation is bad enough, then Reacher finds the body of the general's wife.

This stomach-churning thriller turns back the clock to a younger Reacher, in dogtags. A Reacher who still believes in the service. A Reacher who imposes army discipline.

Even if only in his own pragmatic way... _________Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, The Enemy is 8th in the series.
