Killing Floor

Jack Reacher, a former Army military police major, steps off a bus in Margrave, Georgia, chasing the memory of a blues musician. He is arrested for murder. In jail he meets Detective Finlay and officer Roscoe and learns the victim is his brother Joe, a Treasury investigator. Joe was tracking a counterfeit-money ring run by the Kliner family, protected by corrupt cops and Mayor Teale. Reacher hunts the Kliners, works out how the fraud runs and finishes the job at a warehouse, where he burns the money.
