Worth Dying For by Lee Child


Jack Reacher is hitchhiking through Nebraska on his way to Virginia when he gets in the way of the powerful Duncan clan. A small town and its residents have been under the control of brothers Jacob, Jasper and Jonas Duncan and Jacob's son, Seth, for twenty-five years. The men are antsy, waiting for a secret delivery from Canada and afraid that Reacher's presence will compromise their business. Reacher also uncovers the case of a girl who went missing years ago and wonders if the Duncan family were responsible, even though nothing was ever proven. He decides to take on all the baddies in typical Reacher fashion--one against many... Worth Dying For is another Reacher novel set in a small town full of secrets. This is at least the fourth with that common plot line. Despite this fact, I did really enjoy it. Although, Gone Tomorrow remains the best Reacher novel of the past few years.
