It was 1977 and sixteen year old Jack Reacher was on his way to visit his brother, Joe. He found himself travelling through New York city in the dark of the evening, with the unbearable heat like a blanket over the city. When he came across a situation which seemed threatening, he quietly observed, ready to step in if necessary. Suddenly the man slapped the woman, hard. After Reacher had taught the man a lesson (as only he could) they watched him stumble away into the darkness. "You don't know what you've done" she said.....Later on that evening, Reacher was in the company of a young lady by the name of Chrissie when the power went off - the whole city went off the grid. The danger was immediate; with a mad gunman on the loose, plus the person Reacher had upset earlier after him and looting bound to occur, where could they go in the city to be safe? But Reacher wasn't a guy to head for safety when things needed doing....What a great thriller - short but oh, so sweet! Full-on Reacher, even though he is a teenager in this novella. Highly recommended.
