Goodreads: Sixty-one hours. Not a minute to spare. A tour bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces. If she’s going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. Because a killer is coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses.
Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving. But the next 61 hours will change everything. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could have guessed—but so is the woman whose life he’ll risk his own to save. In 61 Hours, Lee Child has written a showdown thriller with an explosive ending that readers will talk about for a long time to come.
My comments: I can't believe that right in the middle of bumper-to-bumper-Dallas-practically-stopped-rush-hour-traffic with about 200 miles to go I got to the end of this book. I backed it up and listened again. WHAAAT? So badly did I want to get to a computer to ask a question or two. If I say more it will be to much of a apoiler! The story started out slowly for me but got better and better - it totally kept my attention driving from Tucson through a huge part of the state of Texas! And for the first time in many, many Reacher books, I figured out the back guy before he did! Didn't take away from the story, though.
