Make Me
Jack Reacher is a man with no home and ample curiosity. When he emerges from a train at Mother's Rest to learn the story behind the isolated town's name, he instead finds Michelle Chang, an ex-FBI agent worried about her missing co-worker -- and a hostile town that wants to see them both leave. As they crisscross the United States to locate the partner and unravel the mystery, they also discover the residents have invested in some deep-pocketed killers. Who are the series of guests staying overnight at the town's one hotel, and what secret could warrant such protection?

One of the possibilities, John Kott, is a man Reacher helped convict 15 years ago, and who apparently still holds a grudge. Together with rookie analyst Casey Nice, they are tasked to stop the assassin.

WINTER
Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could've done. It didn't matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I'd have time to disappear before he got out or he'd cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was.
But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he's anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan.
And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn't expect this.
He doesn't want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.
