61 Hours
by Lee Child
It all began with a bus crash in rural South Dakota. Reacher is uninjured, but must help those on the bus with him; a number of retirees whose main focus has been seeing Mount Rushmore. As Reacher heads to town, he learns of a cryptic murder that's taken place and the one woman who can act as a witness for the legal proceedings. Meanwhile, there is a plot being hatched out of Mexico to come down on this quaint town and wreak havoc for all involved. When clues in the murder investigation lead Reacher and the authorities to ponder a jail break to distract from an even larger act, the clock begins ticking for Reacher and the rest of the townsfolk. While Child advances the clock incrementally, Reacher can only hope his military connections are strong enough to foil the plot and to protect this elderly witness from dying. Explosive and frigid at the same time, Child brings the story to life with ease and grace.
Child does continue his ever-evolving progress of Reacher's life, but also seeks to hash out some of the social commentary of US Military history whenever he can. Revisiting some issues of the Cold War, Child uses Reacher's knowledge of the military to depict just how determined both sides were to holding onto whatever they could after nuclear fallout becomes a reality. Poignantly discussed and intricately woven together, Child plays historian and storyteller at the same time, without revisiting some of the well-known battles and stories. Just like the settings for his novels, Child chooses to share facts little known to many, but full of vigour.
Kudos, Mr. Child for this chilling tale. I an intrigued how this all comes together so well for Reacher and your ongoing collection of fans.
