Still, Froehlich has decent government resources at hand, and she cleverly does manage to track him down fairly quickly. Of course, first Froehlich has to find Jack - which isn't so easy, given that he doesn't have an address, driver's license, or ATM or credit cards, and hasn't even filed for taxes in the past five years.Īs readers of the series know, the well-trained former military (police) man has taken to the road, roving around the country with basically no baggage and no ties.
The two brothers weren't in touch much - they barely saw each other - but despite that there was obviously a close bond of sorts between them, and what Joe told Froehlich about his brother is good enough for her. The man she has in mind is Jack Reacher, whose reputation precedes him - in this case largely because Froehlich used to be the girlfriend of Jack's brother, Joe (though they broke up before Joe got killed). M.E.Froehlich - who is tight-lipped about what her initials stand for - leads the secret service detail assigned to protect Armstrong, and in order to find out where their protection-coverage is vulnerable she wants to hire someone to look into that - to test their defenses, as it were. Without Fail takes place shortly after the election (but before the inauguration) of a new American administration, with credible threats being made against Vice President-elect Brook Armstrong, the junior senator from North Dakota who has just vaulted into the national spotlight.
