In Killing Floor by Lee Child, Jack Reacher, the out of work wandering former military police detective, decides on a whim to visit the town of Margrave, Georgia only to promptly get arrested for murder. After two days in jail during which he survives an assassination attempt, Jack has plans to leave Margrave far behind until he discovers that the dead investigator is his older brother Joe. In a town completely controlled by the Kliner family via their foundation's grants, his allies are few; but he is determined to stand for his brother one last time to uncover his murderer.
I found the plot pacing a little uneven, bouncing back and forth between utterly mundane events and high intensity action scenes. Still the overall effect was entertaining enough for me to continue reading successive books in the future. 4 stars.
