Killing Floor: Lee Child
$5.00Margrave is a wide place in the road in the Georgia Sunbelt. The busiest it ever gets is when school gets let out. But there's something strange about Margrave - it's completely perfect, so perfect it's frightening. The lawns are like velvet, the trees look like they've just had a manicure. And from the laid-back barbershop to Eno's state-of-the-art diner, the local businesses thrive without customers. When drifter and ex-military cop Jack Reacher hits town, he intends to be gone by Monday. But before then Margrave has its first recorded homicide in thirty years, and as the only stranger in town, it's pinned on Reacher. And so begins the nightmare - starting with a weekend on the killing floor among the jailhouse lifers. If long-lost kin and a long-dead guitar hero could tell tales, Reacher would know just what kind of big operation he's walked into. But as the nasty secrets of the lethal conspiracy that keeps the perfect town ticking start to leak out, the body count mounts.
