Jack Reacher is back, this time In the Line of Fire.

Someone who was once close to Reacher’s brother, needs help in her new job – saving the Vice President of the United States from being assassinated.

We all know Jack Reacher is a loner and a drifter.

But with every book, he finds himself in a new, often dangerous environment, where his native cunning, surly charm and brute strength help him to be quickly accepted as an insider, the only man who can save the day.

In Without Fail, the secretive, closed organisation that invites him in is the Secret Service, the organisation that protects the Presidency.

The story, Without Fail, starts off as Reacher drifts in Atlantic City as driver of a car he hitched a lift in way back in California. Unbeknown to him is is being tracked by the head of security for the newly elected Vice-President of the USA. The Vice-President is being threatened with assasination and the lady in charge of his security from the Secret Service, turns to Reacher, brother of her earlier lover, for help. Reacher accepts her offer and recruits Neagley, a former colleague to help him. The action moves backwards and forwards across the USA as the plot unfolds and more threats are made against the Vice-President. Reacher starts to make progress as the FBI become involved but then is badly shaken as someone in the team is killed. Reacher realizes that the FBI pursuing the wrong line and that he will have to confront the Vice-President with questions to solve the case. These questions reveal the identities of the perpentrators and sets Reacher on the path to eliminating the threat to the Vice-President. This is another good story in the Reacher ‘take no prisoners’ method of crime fighting. Reacher is dangerous and it is best not to be the ‘bad guy’ when he is around.
