The Sentinel, Child & Grant - B+

      Jack no middle initial Reacher is still at it, this time in small-town Tennessee in the middle of an international ransomware attack on Pleasantville. He comes to the aid of the town's IT manager, blamed for the mess, fired and shunned. It's more complex than it appears because the FBI gets in touch and asks for his help. The Russians are hacking for higher game. Interestingly, this is the 25th in the series and the first of three he'll be co-writing with his brother. Thereafter,  Child will be done. Apparently, there's a tv show in the making,  or he could just enjoy what the Times estimated is a billion dollar fortune. I scrutinized every page to find some slippage from what we all expect. There's one plot twist that seemed a bit more complex than I'd generally expect. Certainly forgivable and forgettable, i.e. the plot point, not the series. Looking forward to next year's new addition.
