Jack Reacher. Former military policeman. Tramp. Avenger. Without a car. Without a home. No holds barred when it comes to punishing the bad guys. Gerardsville, Colorado. A woman meets her death under the wheels of a bus. The police take the incident for suicide. But Jack Reacher becomes an unwitting witness to the accident. And he sees how an unknown man pushes the victim under the bus, grabs her bag and disappears with lightning speed. The sudden death of a staff member at a new modern prison on the outskirts of a small town was also ruled an accident. Reacher realizes that this is not just a coincidence. A former military policeman cannot let a killer walk free. But little does he know that these crimes are part of a large sinister plan, a deadly criminal scheme in which many dangerous people were involved. They cannot afford the slightest mistake. The stake is too high. The threat must be eliminated immediately. And yet they make a mistake, and a very big one - they underestimate Reacher. Who will stop at nothing until he gets to the truth. And he will not punish criminals. Because when Jack Reacher turns into a threat, Plan B won't help.
