Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just open your current read to a random page and share a few sentences. Be careful not to include spoilers!
Yet another Lee Child! Yes! In this one, Reacher is hired to try to assassinate the vice-president of the USA. You know, as a sort of security audit; not for real. But is somebody out there trying the same thing – for real? (My first reaction to this is, the vice-president? Really? Do they get assassinated?) Here’s your teaser:
The guy on the right took his hands out of his pockets. He had the same neuralgic pain in his knuckles, or else a couple more rolls of quarters. Reacher smiled. He liked rolls of quarters. Good old-fashioned technology. And they implied the absence of firearms. Nobody clutches rolls of coins if they’ve got a gun in their pocket.
Yes, I used more sentences than prescribed, but wasn’t it worth it?

Intriguing! I do like the snippets that I’ve seen from this series. Thanks for sharing. And, good question: who would kill the vice-president?
Here’s MY TT POST and

Ooh, good teaser. Sounds exciting. Thanks for sharing. If you get a chance, my teaser is here.
Interesting teaser! I suppose true as well, if you’ve actually got a gun you probably wouldn’t have a nervous reaction while grasping quarters *lol*
I hope you’re enjoying this one
It sounds interesting.
Lol, yeah, you’re definitely forgiven for that! Sometimes it’s needed! Great teaser.
My teaser is from the wonderful and mysterious novel The Night Circus.
