Book #24 in the best-selling series by Lee Child may be Child's best yet.
“This is a random universe,” Reacher says. “Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.”
Reacher is on a yet another Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place in mind, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help a fellow passenger --- an old man, a victim just waiting to happen. And once again, Reacher has found a mission.
An elderly couple have gotten in over their heads with a loan shark, and now they owe more money than they can possibly pay to the gangsters who control the loan sharking. Reacher decides to intervene. Reacher's brand of intervention ignites a chain reaction that blows up the shaky truce between the rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs that each control half the city.
Reacher teams up with a waitress and some local musicians trying to make a living in the middle of this war zone, and sets out to take down both sets of mobsters and punish the greedy. It’s a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in justice . . . the kind of justice that comes along once in a blue moon.
