There are many Jack Reacher wannabes but there are none, in my opinion, to touch him. However, the hero here, Sam Carver, in his third outing, comes mighty close. He is a retired MI6 hit man and now he’s been framed for crimes he didn’t do … obviously he must clear his name … and in doing so discovers a plot which must be foiled. Terrific stuff. Highly recommended.
A people-trafficker bites the dust in Dubai and a gangland money-launderer has a fatal car accident in San Francisco: both deaths bear the hallmarks of a Sam Carver 'accident.' But Carver is no longer supposed to be in the game. He'd sworn to leave that life behind. So his old contacts at MI6 want to know why Carver has gone off the reservation. Who is paying him? And who will be his next target? But someone is setting Carver up, framing him for crimes he didn't commita copycat killer, motivated by revenge. He wants to crush Carver and then beat him at his own game by hitting the world's most prominent target, the new president of the United States. Now Sam Carver will have to use all his cunning and tradecraft to track and stop this deadly opponent. Alone and on the run, he must fight to clear his name. But first he must stop a fatal shot that will be heard around the world.
