Die Trying

Product Information

The FBI is desperate to rescue the woman, a Special Agent from the Chicago office, because the FBI always - always - takes care of its own, and because this woman is not just another agent.

Holly had been one of ten thousand applicants in her year, and she'd passed in right at the top of the four hundred who made it.And maybe some kind of sure knowledge there'll be a bunch of people looking to get you back soon as they can. Then he turned again and strolled to the credenza at the end of the room for a cup of coffee from the filter machine. Reacher and the woman join forces, against seemingly hopeless odds, to outwit their captors and escape. Holly, intended by leader Beau Borken to be used as leverage to make her father agree to his demands, is placed in an upstairs room of an abandoned county courthouse, whose walls are supposedly filled with dynamite. Plus, then when Holly is finally rescued from being kidnapped, instead of running to her Dad first she runs to Reacher.

Just one aside in Jack Reacher's CV his height is given at 6'5" why they got Tom Cruise to play him in the film version, God Only Knows ? If he was going to make some kind of a move, this was the right time to make it, and the right location. But at their remote destination, will raw courage and cunning be enough to overcome the hopeless odds? The chairs were substantial and leather, and the table was made of fine hardwood, but any tendency for the place to look like a corporate boardroom was defused by the scruffy government wall covering and the cheap carpet.On the way, Reacher learns the woman is an FBI agent named Holly Johnson, though she doesn't tell him she's the daughter of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or goddaughter of the President, having been accused of being the beneficiary of nepotism all her life. Raised in a military family and serving for several years himself, he has a soldier’s instincts and bearing. The guy with the California accent reached up and grabbed Reacher's wrist where it was pinned against his collar by the weight of the nine clean garments hanging down his back. Reacher and the woman - who claims to be an FBI agent - are kidnapped and taken 2000 miles across America.
