Quick recap

In a Texas saloon, Reacher breaks a bully's nose, only to learn he's a local cop, and decides to disappear before the arrest. He hitches a ride with Carmen Greer, who has a problem: her tax-evading husband, Sloop, is getting out of prison and will beat her again. Carmen is looking for someone to kill him. Reacher refuses but agrees to visit her ranch in Echo County to look into things. There he finds lies, prejudice and hatred, and Carmen is arrested for her husband's murder. Reacher starts doubting her real motives.
