Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child

It's two o'clock in the morning and Jack Reacher thinks he's in a New York subway car with a female suicide bomber. He tries to dismiss this fact because it doesn't make a lot of sense for someone to bomb the subway when it's so quiet. However, the woman fits an eleven-point profile compiled by Israeli counterintelligence. Reacher decides to confront her and becomes immersed in a situation full of violence, politics, war, and blackmail. Reacher, as usual, goes it alone to bring the bad guys down. Child creates a story where the layers are slowly unpeeled for Reacher and the reader to uncover the truth. He's a master at this and for this reason (plus his characterization of Reacher), he is one of the most consistently excellent thriller writers today. Quite a feat, considering this is book thirteen. Be aware that there are some scenes of intensely graphic violence, beyond what you may be used to from Child's previous novels.
