This world is changeable, but sometimes everything goes as it should. In an unnamed American town, two criminal groups are fighting for control over its life. Everything goes their way - until Jack Reacher arrives in town. He is trained to notice little things. Sitting on a night bus, Reacher noticed a sleeping old man with a plump envelope with cash sticking out of his pocket. And also some young guy, greedily looking at this envelope. The robber makes his move - Reacher makes his. Checkmate. The old man is scared and driven into a corner. It turns out that the young robber is nothing. His real problem is much, much bigger. At one time he made a couple of mistakes - and now he owes a lot of money to one of the city gangs. Reacher decides to help him...The chances of success are much higher if Jack Reacher gets involved. You can be sure of that.
