When the stranger turns up beaten to death, Reacher follows the trail and confronts the people who dispatched the dead man: an elderly couple still mourning a son lost in Vietnam; a woman from Reacher's own haunted past; and at the center of the web, an opponent more vicious than any he's ever faced. 2 cassettes, 180 minutes. 
Last Chants by Lia Matera Willa Jansson sees her old friend, mythology professor Arthur Kenna, about to be arrested for brandishing a gun.
