This short story shows a brief time in Jack Reacher's earlier military life, when he was in his early twenties. He was ordered by Military Intelligence, to go undercover in Washington DC to find a perpetrator who was passing secrets to another government. The trouble was, he was given a few hours' notice of the assignment, and the four he had to investigate were all young women, high profile, extremely ambitious, with careers moving quickly to the top.Obviously, three would be innocent, one would be guilty, but how would he get close to four of them, in one afternoon, without them realizing what he was doing? The story moves along quite quickly, with all the players getting into place with only a few dramas.With a few twists in the plot, and Reacher's usual indomitable spirit, this is a solid thriller which I thoroughly enjoyed.
