When he arrives, Reacher deduces that the prostitute must have taken Kramer’s briefcase. Military Police Major Jack Reacher is called upon to investigate the death. Presumably, Kramer was in the company of a prostitute at the motel. Major General Kenneth Kramer has been found dead of an apparent heart attack inside a sleazy “hot-sheets” motel. Narrated in the first-person perspective by Jack Reacher, a loner elite military cop, the story begins in North Carolina on the final day of 1989. The Enemy was nominated for the 2005 Dilys Award, and was named winner of the 2005 Barry Award for Best Novel. The Enemy has been hailed as “a fabulously suspenseful prequel” by Kirkus Reviews, “textured, swift, and told in Reacher’s inimitable tough voice” by Publishers Weekly, and that it “will keep you guessing until the final page” by Playboy. Along the way, Reacher enlists the help of a young female agent who helps him uncover shocking secrets that makes him question his entire existence. When Reacher discovers that the general’s wife has been murdered hundreds of miles away only hours before, he is thrown into a grand conspiracy that leads him on a perilous hunt for the truth. Set in 1990 North Carolina, Virginia and Paris, the prequel focuses on Reacher’s investigation into the death of a two-star general found at a sleazy motel, as well as the contents of the general’s missing briefcase. The eighth book in the Jack Reacher series, The Enemy is the 2004 mystery crime thriller novel written by British author Lee Child.
