Having accidentally met a man named Queen on the street, former military policeman Jack Reacher cannot believe his eyes, because ten years ago he personally executed the scoundrel. How did he manage to survive? To get to his enemy, Reacher agrees to help two federal agents rescue their employee from trouble, who was working undercover for drug dealer Zachariah Beck, who has close ties to Queen. Together with the feds, Reacher develops a cover story that will allow him to enter Beck's house and gain his trust. Lee Child is one of the best modern authors working in the detective-action genre. His hero Jack Reacher has become a truly iconic figure, the embodiment of the unbending hero detective.
