Haha .I'm still waiting patiently .I'm umpteenth in a queue of umpteen at the library :)
An avid reader of crime fiction I don't think I've ever come across anyone to beat Jack Reacher . He's unique .
A couple you may like though ,are by Robert Crais .The Watchman and The First Rule These feature a character named Joe Pike .Ex marine hard nut .He also features in his other novels as Elvis Coles sidekick .
Other than that there's Charlie Hood in the novels by T Jefferson Parker LA Outlaws etc..He's a sort of renegade cop .
The John Sandford Prey books are good too .Lucas Davenport ,another cop who does his own thing .
You can look them up on
