Thanks. Nick Petrie’s Peter Ash series and the Orphan X series from Gregg Hurwitz also scratch that Reacher itch.

Thanks! I just added it to my list. Looks like there’s a sequel coming out in April.

+1 about the Reacher books being good for teens.

Just trying to avoid that sort of thing.

Reacher's sex scenes are fairly innocuous...they do it, but not in much detail, and he's quite respectful about it.
Some of Steven King's books do have some graphic sex scenes, but most don't.

The Reacher books would be fine for a 15 year old, I think. Prescreen the King books and you'll be fine.

Try Adam Plantinga’s The Ascent. Similar main character and writing style. I liked it!
