Die Trying by Lee Child
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jack Reacher is ex-military police investigator who lives on the move - no home, no belongings, no family. Buys a new set of clothes when the old ones get too dirty. In Die Trying, Reacher is kidnapped along with an FBI agent from the Chicago streets. The kidnappers are holding her not because she is FBI, but because her father is a high-level military officer. The title is apt, because both Reacher and Holly nearly die trying to escape and to prevent a sinister plot to destroy the world. He is like John McClane in Die Hard - how many times can one man survive near-fatal assaults? With Reacher, it is a very high number.
