_The Affair_, Lee Child
REAmDe has an actual satisfying ending. It has many characters, a prodigious plot, and large chunks of it appear to be an exercise in making the most addictive reading possible. Insofar as it is SF, the sciences being fictionalized are semiotics and psychology. No laws of physics seem to be bent, although there are some coincidences on the scale that one expects in entertaining fiction. If you read slower than I do, be prepared to enjoy many hours of not wanting to put it down.
_The Affair_ is the sixteenth book about Jack Reacher, and it chronicles the events that happen just prior to the first book. If you are a fan of Reacher, you will like this one. Otherwise, don't start here.
