This is my review of the book Die Trying by lee Child which I have read recently. This is a Jack Reacher story. Jack is a tough no nonsense hero, and seems to be on a mysterious trip across America. At each place he ends up some form of trouble seems to fall upon him and it becomes a life and death challenge for him to solve.

This story does not disappoint. He is acting as as a doorman in Chicago and is snatched up from the street along with a young woman in crutches that he was happening to be helping at the time.

It turns out that the woman is an FBI agent, and gradually during a long journey across America trapped in the back of a van the real story of the kidnap comes out. The woman has multiple links to the ruling authorities and even the president so she makes the ideal pawn to trade in a kidnap situation.

Being such a high profile hostage means that she gets a lot of attention from the authorities but the CCTV images seem to show Jack helping the kidnappers. Jack is faced with the challenge of saving the woman from the kidnappers and himself from the kidnappers whilst persuading the authorities that he is not one of the bad guys.

A good enjoyable book that charges along at a pace. It has enough twists in it with double agents to keep me turning the pages over till the end.
