Review: This was a waste.

Reacher fans will want to read this just because it's Reacher.  Anyone who has not read a Lee Child Reacher novel should not waste their money on this.I can't really find anything about this short story to recommend it.  Reacher is called from Germany to go undercover in a congressional hearing regarding a new sniper rifle.  Military Intelligence thinks that there is a leak as to the specs of that rifle.  Reacher's job is to find the leak.There really is no plot to speak of.  The first third of the story involves a woman jogging and a man driving a car, prior to their lives intersecting.  At the same time Reacher is being briefed by Military Intelligence on his mission.  Then there's the hearing and after that the end game.I like short stories because they showcase an author's ability to develop and tell a good story quickly.  This fails in the 'good story' category.
