Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state
of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a
slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says:
You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And
sure enough, from the world he lives in—no phone, no
address, no commitments–ex–military investigator Jack
Reacher is coming. In Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller,
Reacher’s arrival will change everything—about a case that
isn’t what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways,
about a killer who missed one shot–and by doing so give Jack
Reacher one shot at the truth.…
The gunman worked
from a parking structure just thirty yards away–point-blank
range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. His
victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why
does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons
why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But
when Reacher hears Barr’s own words, he understands. And a
slam-dunk case explodes. Soon Reacher is teamed with a young
defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and
dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret
of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this
case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle,
Reacher is at his best.
Moving in the shadows,
picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the
unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher,
the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness
and respect his cunning–and then match him shot for shot….
