A novella that takes a look back in Jack career. He is sent undercover to do only what Jack does. Too short, but good when you need a Jack Reacher fix!

This Reacher story is available in the anthology No Middle Name. The story is set early in Reacher’s military career. Reacher goes undercover to find a military officer who is giving secret information about sniper rifles to the enemy. Reacher believes that only Americans are entitled to the best sniper rifles, so he takes the betrayal personally. The suspect is one of four women and if Reacher has to screw them all to find the culprit, he’s just the man for the job. The women are lucky he doesn’t kill them all, since that’s Reacher’s go-to problem-solving skill. Lee Child wrote this back when he was still trying, but the plot is thin and the story adds little to the larger universe of Reacher fiction.

Jack Reacher is called back to Washington and asked to put a uniform on again to catch a spy. Four women in uniform, which one is selling secrets. The government has a new sniper rifle, and they don't want enemy hands getting wind of it. The powers that be tell Reacher that this is an easy assignment--no guns, Just get to know the women and suss out the spy. But when was there ever an easy assignment for Jack Reacher?
