The Secret. (Reacher) My 400th Post in 18 years!!!

 POST #400


"My reading habit has gone completely off the rails lately. Even fiction has taken a hit. John Grisham, Tom Wood, Ken Follett, and Jeffrey Archer's latest release remain untouched, which was an impossible feat just six months ago. My health issues haven't been conducive to reading books. However, with great effort, I managed to read a couple of non-fiction books on safety.

So, it was a herculean task to finish Lee Child's Jack Reacher mission in 'THE SECRET' in just two sittings, each lasting 3-4 hours. This fiction is set in 1992, with a young Reacher in action.

'The Secret' is the 28th book in the Jack Reacher series, set in 1992. It follows Reacher as he investigates a series of mysterious deaths across the United States. These victims are all respectable, upstanding citizens, and their deaths appear to be accidents. However, when one of the victims falls to their death from a hospital window, the Secretary of Defense takes notice. He calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate, and Reacher is assigned as the Army's (He a Millitary Police) representative.

Reacher soon realizes that there is more to this case than meets the eye. The victims are all connected, but the link between them is unclear. Reacher also discovers that his new 'partners' have their own ulterior motives and are not always honest with him. He also learns that the victim is connected to a larger conspiracy, involving a toxic gas release in India in 1979.

As Reacher delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of secrets that lead back to a dark chapter in American history. He also learns that the killer is still out there and willing to do whatever it takes to keep their secrets hidden.

Reacher must use all of his skills and experience to track down the killer and uncover the truth. However, he knows that he cannot trust anyone, and he is on his own.

Overall, 'The Secret' is a gripping and suspenseful thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It is a must-read for fans of the Jack Reacher series and for thriller enthusiasts in general."
