Hook Hobies hela tillvaro byggde på en trettio år gammal hemlighet. Hans frihet, hans ställning, hans pengar; allt. Och i likhet med varje försiktig person som lever under sådana förhållanden, var han beredd att göra vad som helst för att hans hemlighet inte skulle avslöjas. För han hade mycket att förlora. Hela sitt liv. Jack Reacher dras ofrivilligt in i den malström av brutalt våld som omger Hook Hobie. Och när han kommer hemligheten på spåren inser han snart att man inte ostraffat gräver i Hobies förflutna.
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES - Don't miss the hit streaming series Reacher A heart-racing page-turner that hits the ground running and then accelerates all the way to a colossal showdown "Jack Reacher is the coolest continuing series character now on offer."--Stephen King, in Entertainment Weekly There's deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it's the unsolved case of a missing child, already decades old, that Reacher can't let go. The Duncans want Reacher gone--and it's not just past secrets they're trying to hide. They're awaiting a secret shipment that's already late--and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they're just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to keep on going, to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that's bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.
Featuring Jack Reacher, hero of the blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise, in an explosive follow-up to the cliffhanger ending of 61 Hours.61 Hours ended with Reacher trapped in a desperate situation from which escape seemed impossible.

–Derfor forlot Jack Reacher Hæren. Jack Reacher. Helt. Ensom ulv. Soldat. Militærpolitimann med en rekke utmerkelser, en av Hærens beste menn. Men i enhver politimanns liv dukker det opp én sak som forandrer alt. For Jack Reacher er det denne saken. Nyttårsaften 1990. Jack Reacher sitter på et kontor og venter på at klokken skal slå tolvslaget. Da ringer telefonen. En to-stjernes general er blitt funnet død på et tredjeklasses motell. Stresskofferten hans er vekk, og ingen vet hva den inneholder. Reacher får ordre om å ta seg av saken. Kort tid etter finner han enda et lik: Generalens kone. En eller annen i Hæren forsøker å gjøre Jack Reacher til syndebukk, og han blir tvunget til å kjempe en ny form for krig, mot en fiende han ikke ante at han hadde.
