Night School is a 2016 novel by Lee Child. This is the twenty-first book in the Jack Reacher series.[2][3][4] It is written in the third person.
Plot
It is 1996. U.S. Army Major Jack Reacher is issued orders for what is ostensibly classroom training in some unspecified and presumably terminally boring military sub-specialty. He is teamed up with one male agent from the FBI and one male agent from the CIA. Their true assignment is to identify an American who had requested $100 million from certain Middle Eastern contacts in return for unknown merchandise or information. Reacher determines that he is an enlisted man from Sugarland, Texas, named Horace Wiley who had gone AWOL in a reunified Germany 4 months previously.
The next task at hand is to determine exactly what possible threat to national and global security it might be that is fetching the American soldier's asking price of 100 million dollars. What follows is a very twisted and turning trail of missed opportunities which eventually funnel the pursuers down to a pulse-pounding but ultimately anti-climactic interception.
