The Coast Guard's drug interdiction operations interfered with smuggling the dollar bills to Venezuela. Kliner Sr. recently restarted shipping the bills again but was far behind and had a large amount of money in his warehouse in Margrave.
|
When the flow of money stopped, the Venezuelan criminal cartel started causing trouble for the Kliners in Margrave by killing any loose ends in the organization. |
|
Some Venezuelan criminals assisted Kliner in his counterfeiting ring.
|
Reacher described the Venezulean hit man as former special forces as they fought well and with a certain style.
|
|
This did not happen in the book.
|
KJ murdered his father, Kliner Sr. as he felt his father was not strong enough to run the counterfeiting ring properly. |
|

Reacher traveled from Tampa Florida to Margrave Georgia partly to talk about Blind Blake, a guitar player who died decades ago. A 90 year old black woman, the sister of the old town barber, told Reacher that Blind Blake was murdered in the street by the father of Mayor Teale after Blake accidentally bumped into the then ten year old boy on the sidewalk instead of stepping aside to let him pass.
|
Reacher talked to some people who knew of Blind Blake, but no one that ever met him. |
