Lee Child · 2012 · thriller

Lee Child's 2012 Jack Reacher thriller. Hitchhiking east across the plains, Reacher climbs into a car with three strangers and a story that doesn't add up. As an FBI dragnet closes over western Nebraska and on toward Omaha and Topeka, he realises he is riding with fugitives from a killing - and must work out who is hunting whom before it is too late.

   Western Nebraska

   Nose freshly broken, Reacher waits at a lonely highway cloverleaf and is finally picked up by two men and a woman who are all lying about everything.

   Omaha

   Passing police roadblocks, the drive east toward the city draws in FBI agent Julia Sorenson and a murder at an abandoned pumping station.

3. 3
   Topeka

   The trail ends at a witness-protection motel south of Topeka in Kansas before Reacher sets out once more for Virginia.
