Part of Jack Reacher, book 27
First published 2022
Jack Reacher watches a woman die beneath bus wheels in Gerrardsville, Colorado. Officials call it suicide. Reacher saw the truth: a man in a gray hoodie shoved her into traffic, snatched her purse, and walked away. When a second death gets labeled accidental, Reacher knows someone is killing with purpose. He starts hunting the responsible parties, unaware that these murders serve a much bigger scheme. An arsonist seeks revenge. A foster child runs from danger. Powerful conspirators orchestrate events with multiple moving pieces. The plotters dismiss Reacher as harmless, planning to eliminate any real threats that emerge. They believe they can handle shadows and complications. But Reacher brings flesh, blood, and relentless determination to right these wrongs. Their careful plans never accounted for his interference.
