Killing Floor

I first read Killing Floor back in ‘97 when it was first published. I thought it was a powerfully good story then. Still a damn good read 22 years later.
I reckon Lee Child read a lot of John D. MacDonald and Robert B. Parker before he created Jack Reacher. Not a copy of their work at all as Child's style is different; but still, I can feel the ghosts of Travis McGee and Spencer when I read a Jack Reacher story.
4.5 stars on re-read.
