What this book is about
Hitchhiking across Nebraska, Reacher gets a lift from two men and a woman. Something is wrong. He figures out that one of the passengers is being coerced. What he's driven into connects to an FBI counterterrorism operation and a dead body in a barn. A Wanted Man is the sixteenth Reacher novel — the most tightly contained opening of the series.
