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.
