A prequel set just before book 1, The Affair tells how Reacher gets pushed out of the Army. The Army sends him to Carter Crossing Mississippi, where a young woman has been murdered and the town thinks the perpetrator must've been a soldier from the nearby Kelham Army Base.

This episode takes us back to early Reacher novels, where he can't put a foot wrong at all.

Including the sex scenes. Reacher can't do wrong, but Lee Child certainly does. These should have been whittled down a lot.
