One Shot

By Lee Child

Ninth in the Jack Reacher series. A public shooting kills five people in an unnamed city, and all evidence points to James Barr, a former Army sniper who denies responsibility but asks only for Jack Reacher, a man he does not appear to know. When Barr is left comatose after a jailhouse attack, defense attorney Helen Rodin adds Reacher to the case in hopes he can offer information that clears her client. Reacher instead reveals that he came to help convict Barr, having tied him years earlier to a set of killings in Kuwait that the Army chose to bury rather than prosecute, leaving Barr's sister and the defense team to reconcile that history with his present denial.
