What you need to know before your trail

Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks fourteen miles down a country road into Margrave, Georgia. There’s a decision he’s going to regret.
Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they have had their first homicide in thirty years. Of course, the cops arrest the only stranger in town – Reacher –  and the police chief turns eyewitness to place him at the scene. As nasty secrets leak out, and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure.
They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.

Travel Guide

Margrave is a fictional town in the state of Georgia, which is the primary setting of Killing Floor.  Early in the book Reacher says that his only reason for visiting Margrave was that his brother once told him that Blues guitarist Blind Blake may have been murdered in the town.

Visit Georgia

“I looked out of the window. Georgia. I saw rich land.Heavy, damp red earth. Very long and straight rows of low bushes in the fields. Peanuts maybe. Belly crops, but valuable to the grower. Or to the owner. Did people own their land here? Or did giant corporations?I didn’t know.”

Margrave

“Attractive country architecture on a generous budget. Roads were smooth, sidewalks were red blocks. Three hundred yards south, I could see a blinding white church steeple behind a huddle of buildings”

“I could see flagpoles, awnings, crisp paint, green lawns. Everything refreshed by the heavy rain. Now steaming and somehow intense in the heat. A prosperous community. built I guess on prosperous farm incomes and high taxes on the commuters who worked up in Atlanta.”
