Travis Devine fills a Jack Reacher sized hole in the thriller/murder mystery genre:
  • Super investigator skills
  • Former military
  • Killer at fighting (literally)
… But Devine is a little younger and smaller (more normal sized?) than Reacher. 

2nd book in a series, easily read as a stand alone. I liked this one better than the first. Highly recommend the audio book; the narrators captured the tension and drama. 

Content warning: A central character survived a sexual assault years before the events in the book. The survivor has no memory of the event and eventually
faces her attacker and fights him, stabs him.
