Nothing to lose: a jack reacher novel - lee child

All Jack Reacher wants is a cup of coffee when he stops in a small town in Colorado.

What he gets instead is big trouble.

In Childs #1 New York Times bestseller, Reacher goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead.

Two small towns in the middle of nowhere: Hope and Despair.

Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road.

Jack Reacher cant find a ride, so he walks.

All he wants is a cup of coffee.

What he gets are four hostile locals, a vagrancy charge, and an order to move on.

Theyre picking on the wrong guy.

Reacher is a hard man.

No job, no address, no baggage.

Nothing at all, except hardheaded curiosity.

What are the secrets that Despair seems so desperate to hide? With just one ally--a mysterious woman cop from Hope--and many enemies, Reacher goes up against a whole town, hunting the rich man at its core, cracking open his terrifying agenda, asking the question: Who has the edge--a man with everything to gain, or a man with nothing to lose?.
