A Wanted Man — Lee Child

Four people in a car. hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving.

another telling stories that don't add up. A woman in the back. silent and worried. And a hitchhiker with a broken nose. An hour behind them. the FBI descends on an old pumping station where a man was stabbed to death -- the knife work professional. the killers nowhere to be seen.

All Jack Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy. in which nothing is what it seems. and nobody is telling the truth.
