El expolicía militar Jack Reacher está disfrutando de su anonimato en Florida cuando un desconocido con muchas preguntas empieza a husmear a su alrededor. Reacher también tiene muchas preguntas, especialmente desde que el tipo aparece muerto. Las respuestas le conducen hasta Nueva York, hasta una seductora mujer y hasta los rincones oscuros de su propio pasado.
Después de un largo viaje, Jack Reacher llega a Virginia. Su destino: el cuartel general de su antigua unidad militar, lo más parecido a un hogar que ha tenido en su vida. Su objetivo: hablar con la comandante Susan Turner, oficial al mando. Parece una tarea fácil pero no lo va a ser. Ni mucho menos. La comandante Turner ha sido arrestada con unos cargos de lo más insólitos. Y eso no es lo peor, porque Reacher también va a ser acusado de algo mucho más grave.
