Jack Reacher is hitchhiking to Virginia when he's picked up by a threesome on their way to Chicago -- all dressed alike, but after noticing curious discrepancies and encountering several police stops, he quickly realizes something is off. Getting away from the group, he finds himself working with the FBI's Julia Sorenson to investigate the murder of a diplomatic attaché . There's less action in this title in the Reacher series, but still includes deduction, a final confrontation, and a verbal puzzle that all combine to make this a page-turner.
