Killing Floor.

LEE CHILD

Publication: Putnam, 1997, New York

First edition. Signed by the author. Author's first book. Fine in fine dust jacket. Jack Reacher is eating breakfast in a small Georgia town when he's arrested and charged with the murder of three men. He'd only been passing through and getting arrested wasn't in his plans. After much delay he is exonerated of the charges, but stays in town a little longer and becomes involved in one of the most chilling thrillers of this year.
