      Bolton, South Dakota, è un penitenziario federale circondato dal ghiaccio e dalla tensione. A sole 61 ore dal processo più importante della zona, la vita della testimone Janet Salter, una bibliotecaria in pensione, è in pericolo dopo aver visto qualcosa di compromettente. La polizia locale è schierata per proteggerla, ma l'arrivo di Jack Reacher, un "straniero" ingombrante e pericoloso, complica ulteriormente la situazione. Un incidente ha bloccato il pullman di turisti che lo trasportava, costringendolo a rimanere nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato. Reacher percepisce immediatamente che ci sono troppe incongruenze e che, nonostante la presenza delle forze dell'ordine, la vita di Janet non è affatto al sicuro. Con il conto alla rovescia che avanza e le temperature gelide, decide di indagare. L'unica persona a cui può rivolgersi è il maggiore Susan Turner, che ora comanda la 110ª unità della polizia militare. Insieme, scopriranno cosa si cela in un edificio costruito oltre cinquant'anni fa, apparentemente abbandonato, ma custode di un segreto inquietante.

    • When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly set, freshly busted nose - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. At last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. Within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and there's a police roadblock ahead. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys ... Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy? 'He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town' Sun

    • Jack Reacher plans to follow the autumn sun on an epic road trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn't get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. He thinks, what's one extra day? He takes the detour. At the very same moment, close by, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians are trying to get to New York City to sell a treasure. They are stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. It's a strange place ... but it's all there is. The next morning in the city clerk's office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He's told no one named Reacher ever lived in that town. He knows his father never went back. Now he wonders, was he ever there in the first place? So begins another nail-biting, adrenaline-fuelled adventure for Reacher. The present can be tense, but the past can be worse. That's for damn sure.

      Jack Reacher viene richiamato dal dipartimento di Stato e dalla CIA. Qualcuno ha colpito il presidente francese mentre teneva un discorso a Parigi. E il proiettile è americano. Quanti cecchini sono in grado di fare fuoco da quasi un chilometro con una tale sicurezza? Pochissimi, e tra loro c'è di certo John Kott, una vecchia conoscenza di Reacher, che quindici anni prima lo ha mandato in galera. Ora Kott è libero e, con il G8 in corso, non è affatto una buona notizia... Ad affiancare Jack nella sua caccia c'è Casey Nice, una giovanissima e brillante analista. Ma entrare in azione con una donna al proprio fianco riporta Reacher all'ultima, drammatica occasione in cui ha lavorato in coppia, e alla fine tragica della sua partner. Questa volta non può commettere nessun errore. È una questione personale...

      Margrave, Georgia. Op een eenzame landweg wordt een man doodgeschoten. Op een kalme zondagochtend worden de commissaris van politie en zijn vrouw afgeslacht. Vlak daarna verdwijnt de bankmanager spoorloos... De verdachte is Jack Reacher, een buitenstaander op doorreis. Maar Reacher is niet de eerste de beste landloper. Als voormalig lid van de militaire politie is hij getraind om snel te denken en nog sneller te handelen. Hij heeft geleegd met en gejaagd op het ergste uitschot dat er bestaat: de harde jongens uit het Amerikaanse leger die het verkeerde pad op zijn gegaan. Nu wordt er op Reacher zelf gejaagd. Door de politie, die niet gelooft dat hij onschuldig is, en door een ploeg vrijwel onzichtbare, maar uiterst efficiënte moordenaars...
