The sniper's long-gone instructors would have approved of his efforts.Ĭlues left behind in the parking garage ensure that James Barr, a former soldier, is arrested for the massacre. He has expended six bullets on his five kills. The killer, paradoxically, has observed the local laws by inserting money in a parking meter before beginning his mayhem. In the prologue, a sniper who is extremely pleased with his capabilities, assassinates five people. Child can most certainly not be accused, as so many writers can be, of not making his protagonist grow. Child has, over his previous eight novels, revealed more and more of Reacher's earlier life and this narrative is no exception to the rule. Jack Reacher's ninth outing by that wonderful American writer, Briton Lee Child, is here to entertain us once more.
