And, when he finds out who has been killed, the matter becomes a personal “find everybody responsible and kill every last one of them”. Now he must stay in Margrave and prove he didn’t do it. But, again, for the uninitiated: our enormous hero gets off a bus (on a whim – this, and drinking black coffee, is what he does) in the tiny town of Margrave, Georgia, and is quickly arrested on suspicion of murder. ![]() If you have read Killing Floor, you now know – and this is a promise of delight, not disappointment – exactly what happens in it. The inaugural Reacher series is based, as is right and proper, on the first book in the novel sequence – Killing Floor.
