This is a weird one (for me). I just read a short story: James Penney's New Identity by Lee Child.

Major spoiler (but please read it so you can help me out).

Spoiler:
Jack Reacher is in it. A guy gets fired from his job. He burns his house down, and leaves town in his Firebird. He checks into a hotel and someone steals his car so he starts hitchhiking. The police are setting up road blocks looking for the guy (he ended up burning down his neighbors houses also). Reacher picks him up. Reacher has a dead guy in the trunk. He gives the identity to the guy on the run, and gets him thru a roadblock.


I could have sworn I read this story before in one of the other Reacher books, but searching for "Firebird" turned up nothing.

Anyone recall the book?

Thanks.
