Jack Reacher gets called to Washington by Military Intelligence for a covert mission. The Army is holding secret meetings with Congress about a cutting-edge sniper rifle for American troops. Someone is stealing classified details about the weapon and selling them to foreign arms dealers. Reacher must go undercover and infiltrate the closed-door sessions to find the leak. His suspects are four high-ranking female officers who serve as political liaisons between the Army and Capitol Hill. Each woman has fast-track careers and access to the sensitive information. Three of them are innocent. The fourth could be deadly. Reacher has to match wits with all four to identify the traitor before advanced military technology falls into the wrong hands. The stakes couldn't be higher when terrorists and mercenaries might soon possess America's most sophisticated firepower.
