Plot
Jack Reacher finally reaches Virginia, but his long-awaited meeting with Susan isn't meant to be. Instead, he finds a new commanding officer of the 110th MP. Susan has been arrested, and Reacher is about to be recalled back into the Army. He's also been accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide and he may have a teenage daughter.
Critical reception
Janet Maslin, writing in The New York Times, stated that the book "may be the best desert island reading in the series. It's exceptionally well plotted. And full of wild surprises. And wise about Reacher's peculiar nature. And positively Bunyanesque in its admiring contributions to Reacher lore."
Film adaptation
Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media produced the film Jack Reacher: Never Go Back as a sequel to 2012 film, Jack Reacher.
