by Lee Child

A guy is thrown free-falling into the darkness from a helicopter high over the desolate California desert.... A lady in Chicago discovers that an elite squad of ex–army detectives is being pursued one by one.... And on the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher—soldier, cop, and hero—is drawn out of his wandering existence by a code that only a few others can decipher. Jack Reacher is driven like a dagger into the heart of a scheme that is killing old friends from the opening frightening scenes in Lee Child's incendiary new thriller... and is on the verge of becoming something much worse.

Reacher has an ATM card and the clothing on his back a decade after leaving the military—no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a lady from his previous squad has accomplished the unthinkable. Frances Neagley searches for Reacher from Chicago, using a signal that only the eight members of their special team of army investigators are aware of. She tells him a frightening storey about a man they both served with who was brutally murdered. Reacher is soon reconnecting with the surviving members of his former team, trying to resurrect the living, bury the dead, and piece together the puzzle of a mystery that is becoming increasingly complicated. They learn more about two other buddies who have mysteriously vanished—and a trail that extends into the neon of Vegas and the darkness of international terrorism—as they probe further.

For the time being, Reacher can only respond. To each and every sound Every rumour is true. Each and every odour, as well as each and every moment. Then Reacher will put his faith in the people he once put his life in—and see this through to the conclusion. Because, in a world full of ill luck and misfortune, if someone attacks Jack Reacher and his crew, they'd best be prepared for the retaliation...
