It is true what they say: good deeds are punishable. Before Jack Reacher had time to help a good man get rid of the extortionists, FBI agents immediately grabbed him and began asking strange questions, from which it follows that he is suspected of murdering two women, former military personnel, whose cases he handled as a military policeman. The circumstances of the death of both women are mysterious and incomprehensible. FBI experts have compiled a psychological profile of the criminal, and Jack Reacher fits it perfectly. Special Agent Nelson Blake and his team are confident that Jack must know the answers to the questions of why and, most importantly, how these women died.
