1992. Eight respectable,upstanding people have been found dead across the US. These deaths look like accidents and don't appear to be connected. Until one body - the victim of a fatal fall from a hospital window - generates some unexpected attention.
That attention comes from the Secretary of Defence,who promptly calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher is assigned as the Army's representative.
Reacher may be an exceptional soldier,but sweeping other people's secrets under the carpet isn't part of his skill set.
As he races to discover the link between these victims,and who killed them,he must navigate around the ulterior motives of his new'partners'. And all while moving into the sight line of some of the most dangerous people he has ever encountered.
His mission is to uncover the truth. The question is: will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way...or his way

Lee Child
One of Waterstones'very favourite authors,Lee Child sprang from redundancy at Granada Television in 1995 to rise to thriller-writing pre-eminence with his sequence of stories featuring ex-military policeman Jack Reacher. A huge draw at countless Waterstones events,working with Lee over the years has for us always been an absolute pleasure.
