“Gone Tomorrow (A Jack Reacher Novel)” by Lee Child (Dell, 2010) – Jack Reacher is an ex-military cop who travels light: toothbrush, cash, clothes on his back, chip on his big shoulder. He can’t resist a tangled mystery or a bad guy…and this time the bad guy is a gal.  Even better. Child gets plot and detail (including the grisly stuff) to roll forward so smoothly and swiftly that it’s damn near impossible to put the book down. Good news: yet another Reacher novel is already in the wings.
