In his wanderings across the expanses of America, Jack Reacher reached the desert lands of Nebraska. In one small town, he decides to drink a cup of coffee and move on. But Reacher’s dashing fate, as always, has its own way. At a local bar, Jack quarreled with a man from the Duncan clan, a family that has ruled this area for several decades. One of the townspeople, taking pity on the stranger, explains to Reacher that he is playing with death and that now his life is not worth a cent. And no one here will help him, because all the locals are completely dependent on the Duncans and fulfill their every whim. Jack wondered: how could one family gain such power over an entire city? There is probably some kind of secret hidden here. And Jack Reacher is drawn like a magnet to other people's secrets. But is it worth dying for them?..
