Nothing to Lose (Reprint) (Paperback) by Lee Child

About the Book

All Jack Reacher wants is a cup of coffee when he stops in a small town in Colorado. What he gets instead is big trouble. In Child's #1 "New York Times" bestseller, Reacher goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead.

Book Synopsis

Two small towns in the middle of nowhere: Hope and Despair. Between them, nothing but twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher can't find a ride, so he walks. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets are four hostile locals, a vagrancy charge, and an order to move on. They're picking on the wrong guy.

Reacher is a hard man. No job, no address, no baggage. Nothing at all, except hardheaded curiosity. What are the secrets that Despair seems so desperate to hide?

With just one ally--a mysterious woman cop from Hope--and many enemies, Reacher goes up against a whole town, hunting the rich man at its core, cracking open his terrifying agenda, asking the question: Who has the edge--a man with everything to gain, or a man with nothing to lose?
