Reacher likes women who are competent, professionals in their field, and tough. If they’re in uniform, so much the better—he’s got a sweet spot in his heart for uniformed women who pack heat and know how to handle themselves.

Alice Amanda Aaron (Echo Burning). A Harvard Law School graduate who hails from a wealthy family, she’s forgone a lucrative career with a big law firm to work with the indigent in Pecos, Texas. Initially, she declines to represent Carmen Greer, who is under arrest for suspicion of murder (see individual entry below for more information). The lawyer initially declines to represent Greer because of her heavy caseload—unless Reacher acts as a collections agent for a legal debt she considers uncollectable. Reacher, who intimidates the rancher who owes $20,000 to the impoverished Garcias, collects it and secures legal representation for Greer.

Although Reacher is attracted to Aaron, it’s not reciprocal because she’s gay.

Elizabeth Deveraux (The Affair). A former Marine who followed in her father’s footsteps to become a sheriff in Carter Crossing, Mississippi, she helps Reacher in his investigation of a civilian possibly killed by a soldier stationed at nearby Fort Kelham.

Susan Duffy (Persuader). A senior agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Duffy is searching for a missing junior agent named Teresa Daniel, whose real last name is Justice. To uncover the mystery of her disappearance, Duffy works with Reacher to infiltrate a shady rug importer named Zachary Beck, whose operation quickly unravels when Reacher picks up the thread.

M.E. (Mary Ellen) Froelich (Without Fail). Froelich is a Secret Service agent who is protecting Brook Armstrong, the vice president-elect; she hires Reacher to conduct a “security audit.” Meaning, he’s hired to try and breach their security protocols by any means possible, to find exploitable weaknesses.

Reacher is personally recommended to her by a surprising source—his brother, Joe.

Froelich’s connection to Joe Reacher, initially professional, became personal, and became a problem: She used to work in the Department of the Treasury; when she became romantically involved with Joe, she transferred to the Secret Service in order to preserve their relationship.

At a public event at which Armstrong is making an appearance, Froelich takes a bullet and dies in the line of duty. As Jack watches her die, Froelich’s last words are, “I love you, Joe.” (She mistakes Jack for Joe.)

Carmen Greer (Echo Burning). Greer is looking for someone to kill her abusive husband, Sloop Greer. She picks up Reacher, who is hitchhiking in Texas, and propositions him: sex in exchange for killing her husband. Reacher, who is deeply offended by her crass offer, gets out of her car.

The problem is that her husband is going to get sprung from jail soon, so she wants to take him out of the picture— permanently. Since she was instrumental in putting him in the clinker, she’s not looking forward to his homecoming.

Reacher is finally convinced that Greer is being truthful about her situation. He finally decides to help her “Because now I believe you,” he tells her.

Lisa Harper (Running Blind).
