Small town Mississippi in 1997.
Murder coverup.
No mystery or puzzle is too big for elite military cop Jack Reacher. Reacher is undercover and trusts his gut instinct to find answers and justice. Local Sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux is a former military cop. She joins Reacher to find the truth. They struggle together against many obstacles.

Gripping ending and lots of action !!!

Back of Beyond by C.J. Box

Wilderness horseback trip.
Several agendas.
Yellowstone National Park, compelling characters, fast paced plot, and suspense ensured that I finish the book before I could sleep. Wow !!!!

Son of Stone by Stuart Woods

What a disappointment!!!
The regular characters were there, but not as Stuart Woods usually portrays them.
Very little sleuthing.
No mystery to solve.
Fast paced dialogue but lacking depth.
Just fluff and sex.
