      Seis disparos. Cinco muertos. Una ciudad del corazón de América se sumerge en el terror, y la policía concluye rápidamente que tienen un caso claro. Sin embargo, el acusado insiste en su inocencia y solicita a Jack Reacher. El ex-investigador militar, que vive fuera del sistema, pronto llega para descubrir la verdad. A medida que Reacher profundiza en el caso, se da cuenta de que la situación es mucho más complicada, con vidas entrelazadas de maneras inesperadas y un asesino que falló un disparo crítico. El tirador, un francotirador entrenado llamado James Barr, actuó desde una estructura de estacionamiento cercana, apuntando a víctimas inocentes. Sin embargo, el deseo de Barr de involucrar a Reacher plantea interrogantes, ya que Reacher es la última persona que Barr querría. Cuando Reacher escucha las palabras de Barr, el caso da un giro dramático. Asociándose con una joven abogada defensora que lucha contra su padre fiscal y un equipo de acusación que oculta secretos, Reacher navega por un campo de batalla complejo. Para prevalecer, Reacher debe entender la crueldad y astucia de su adversario, preparándose para una confrontación que pondrá a prueba su determinación y habilidades.

Now they're both dead. Both were found in their own home, naked, in a bath full of paint. Both apparent victims of an army man. A loner, a smart guy with a score to settle, a ruthless vigilante. A man just like Jack Reacher."--Cover.

      THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER Jack Reacher is having a bad day. It would be a dumb idea to make it worse. Reacher sees a West Point class ring in a pawn shop window. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher was a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it. All he wants is to find the woman. He'll have to go through bikers, cops, crooks, and low-life muscle. If she's ok, he'll walk away. If she's not ... he'll stop at nothing. Best advice: stay out of his way.

    • Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle read from Lee Child, creator of 'today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of' (Ken Follett). In a nameless city, two ruthless rival criminal gangs, one Albanian, the other Ukrainian, are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch. Reacher is trained to notice things. He's on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too ... obviously hoping to get rich quick. As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in. The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble. What hold could the gangs possibly have on the old guy? Will Reacher sit back and let bad things happen? Or can he twist the situation to everyone's benefit? 'This is a random universe,' he says. 'Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.' The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.
