Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair--against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him--and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that's killing Americans by the thousand.

Jack Reacher, de loner zonder baan, zonder paspoort en zonder adres, wordt benaderd door de aantrekkelijke M.I. Froelich - roepnaam Froelich. Froelich is sinds kort hoofd van de Secret Service. En ze heeft een probleem: iemand dreigt de Amerikaanse vice-president te vermoorden. Reacher biedt aan haar te helpen en treedt vervolgens toe tot de Secret Service, waar hij behoorlijk uit de toon valt. Instinctief verzet hij zich tegen de bureaucratie en de vooroordelen die er gemeengoed zijn. Reachers boerenslimheid, ruwe charme en eigengereidheid passen helemaal niet bij de starre organisatie. Maar tegen een sluipmoordenaar zonder gezicht komen deze eigenschappen buitengewoon goed van pas... 'In feite doet hij precies waar iedereen wel eens van droomt.'
