Jack Reacher, a former military policeman and one-time damn good investigator, is arrested by the FBI on suspicion of murdering two women. Both served in the army, were sued for sexual harassment, and both had to quit. They were found dead in their own homes, and the circumstances of death were very strange. In addition, in both cases there were no signs of forced entry into the home; the victims themselves let the killer into the house. There are no signs of violence or struggle, and no evidence either. The FBI compiled a psychological portrait of the criminal, and, in their opinion, Jack Reacher was ideal for this role, since he knew both women personally. But when the body of a third victim is discovered, killed under identical circumstances, Reacher is released, and he, without much reluctance, agrees to assist the ambitious FBI special agent Julia Lamarr, who is extremely interested in catching the serial killer... Previously, the novel was published under the title "Blind search."
