Running Blind might be the best Jack Reacher novel so far. It's a bit different than the rest, with Reacher being forced into helping the FBI find a serial killer targeting women who left the Army after pressing charges after being raped. Reacher laughs at the FBI until they threaten Jody, the girl from the previous book, saying they might just give the organized crime boss her name and address if Reacher doesn't cooperate. They also spend several chapters insulting Reacher and accusing him of crimes he didn't commit, and making him out to be a very different person.
Once pressganged into helping at Quantico, Reacher is ignored and put down, even after there's another murder and he figures out a key part of the story. Running Blind is a fast-paced thriller that you won't want to put down.
