2000s: Jack Reacher gets off a train in the middle of nowhere…
Make Me ( Jack Reacher 20)
What you need to know before your trail
Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother’s Rest seems like an ideal place to stop.
He ‘s in the middle of pioneer country and he’s here for no other reason that a brief stopover… but instead he finds a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people.
Reacher’s one-day stopover turns into a search for the truth, a search for a needle in a haystack in this town in the middle of nowhere

Travel Guide
Mothers Rest
A fictional town and train station but one which could be in Kansas or around that area of the MidWest. There isn’t really a real town which fits the bill since Mother’s Rest has a certain type of feel to it, a sense of something awry..
Mother’s Rest
“The name Reacher has seen on a map and why he’s come here. He thinks the line would cross an ancient wagon trail.”
They were in the middle of ten thousand acres of nothingness, and the only man-made structure their side of any horizon was the railroad track to the east, but midnight was five hours aft the evening train and seven hours before the morning train.
When Reacher gets out of the train some twenty miles north of this place:
“He was the only passenger who had gotten out, Which was not surprising. The place was no kind of a commuter hub. It was all agricultural.”
“The motel was there, and a diner, and a general store Behind those establishments the town spread out in a loose westward semi circle. Low density, Sprawl, country style. A thousand people, maybe less.”
