To avoid trouble with the police of a small Texas town, retired military policeman Jack Reacher is forced to urgently get out of there. He votes on the road through the hot desert, and, to his surprise, a luxury car stops next to him. Behind the wheel sits a beautiful woman, her name is Carmen Greer, and she is not a good Samaritan at all. Carmen Greer has a plan, and she believes that Reacher is the best person to carry it out. This plan is quite simple, but it sounds so crazy that Reacher would rather be roasted alive in the Texas sun than agree to help this woman. However, she knows how to convince, and Reacher enters into a game that could cost his life. Lee Child is one of the best modern authors working in the detective-action genre. His hero Jack Reacher has become a truly cult figure, the embodiment of an unbending hero-detective. For the first time in Russian!
