The Secret, Child & Child, B

                     This novel is one of the handful that flashes back to Jack's career in the Military Police. He's called onto a task force set up in DC that is trying to find out why scientists who worked on a project in India in 1969 keep getting killed. It turns out that the Army/CIA project caused the deaths of over a thousand and the repercussions still reverberate 23 years later. Reacher is of course Reacher: tough, charming, and brilliant. This is the fourth collaboration between the Child brothers, and Lee's finale.  My guess is that the series survives in his brother's hand, but it appears to me as if it won't be a highlight of my Octobers going forward.
