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...
