What this book is about
Women who filed sexual harassment complaints against the Army are being found dead — drowned in their own bathtubs, painted green, with no signs of forced entry or struggle. Reacher is a suspect. The FBI recruits him to consult — keeping enemies close. The Visitor (published as Running Blind in North America) is the fourth Reacher novel — a psychological thriller as much as an action one; the puzzle is how.
