The Secret: (Jack Reacher 28) Child Lee (2023)

In 1992, two strangers bring a hospital patient a list of names and ask him for one more, but it is a question he cannot answer. Minutes later, he is sent through the 12th-floor window. His death attracts unexpected attention from the Secretary of Defence, who assembles an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major to Captain, is assigned as the Armys representative. Reacher may be an exceptional soldier, but concealing other peoples secrets is not his strength. As he races to find the killer, he must contend with the ulterior motives of his new partners while entering the sights of some of the most dangerous people he has ever encountered. His mission is to uncover the truth, and quickly. The question is whether Reacher will bring the culprits to justice officially or do things his own way. The Secret is the 28th novel in the Jack Reacher series, although the books can be read in any order.
