"A page-turner... [Lee] Child's tale drives hard and fast."
- Los Angeles Times Book Review
Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. And with a burning desire to right wrongs - and rewrite his own agonizing past. DEA agent Susan Duffy is living for the future, knowing that she has made a terrible mistake by putting one of her own female agents into a death trap within a heavily guarded Maine mansion.
Staging a brilliant ruse, Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise. Trying to rescue an agent whose time is running out, Reacher enters a crime lord's waterfront fortress. There he will find a world of secrecy and violence - and confront some unfinished business from his own past.
"Gripping and suspensful... Child ratchets up the suspense to new heights."

"Wickedly addictive... so fast-paced it makes the eyeballs spin."
