What you need to know before your trail

It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school.
Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. No one knows at first why they are there. Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: “The American wants a hundred million dollars.”
For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American.
If they don’t get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism.

Travel Guide

From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law

Langley Virginia

Where the story starts in the FBI building in Langley Virginia

Hamburg, Germany

“Hamburg was a rowdy port city, with a world famous red light district and drugs and graffiti at the train station, but even so homicide was relatively rare.”

“That was the good news. the bad news was the remaining unsolved 10 per cent was all either stabbed junkies or strangled prostitutes”

“Hamburg was an ancient Hanseatic City, with more than a thousand years of history behind it, but none of the roofs Reacher could see was more than fifth years old. Germany had bombed Britain and Britain had bombed back, and had gotten pretty good at it.”

Jalalabad, Afghanistan

“Nine o’clock in the morning in Hamburg, was half past twelve in the afternoon in Jalalabad. Lunch was being prepared in the kitchen of a white mud house. Outside was a hot desert climate, like Arizona”

Kiev, Ukraine

“The journey to Kiev had been brutal. The messenger is driver though the mountains to Peshawar in Pakistan and then flown to Karachi and then to Kiev”
