JACK REACHER NEVER LOOKS BACK . . . UNTIL NOW. The most hotly anticipated thriller of the year follows our hero Jack Reacher on a quest into his father's past, and climaxes in the most blood-curdling ticking time bomb of an adventure yet. The present can be tense . . . A young couple trying to get to New York City are stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. Before long they're trapped in an ominous game of life and death. But the past can be worse . . . Meanwhile, Jack Reacher sets out on an epic road trip across America. He doesn't get far. Deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. But when he arrives he is told no one named Reacher ever lived there. Now he wonders- who's lying? As the tension ratchets up and these two stories begin to entwine, the stakes have never been higher for Reacher. 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...

Na een moeizame tocht vanuit South Dakota is Jack Reacher eindelijk in Virginia aangekomen. Zijn doel: het oude hoofdkwartier van de 110th MP Special Unit – zo ongeveer het enige thuis dat hij ooit gekend heeft. Waarom? Hij wil de nieuwe commandant van de eenheid, majoor Susan Turner, mee uit eten vragen. Hij vond haar stem over de telefoon aantrekkelijk. Maar de officier in het kantoortje van de commandant is geen vrouw. Waar is Susan Turner? Jack Reacher wordt met twee onthutsende zaken geconfronteerd, de ene nogal gewelddadig, de andere te persoonlijk om over na te denken. Krijgt hij – of iemand anders – spijt van zijn besluit om terug te gaan?

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

Venerdì, le cinque del pomeriggio. Sei spari esplodono improvvisi in una cittadina di provincia dell'Indiana. Sei colpi di fucile su una folla inerme, in una piazza del centro. Persone qualsiasi, gente che va a far spese o che sta tornando a casa per godersi il week-end. A terra cinque corpi senza vita: quattro uomini e una donna. Chi è stato? Perché? Domande che sembrano trovare risposta quando, poche ore dopo, viene arrestato un ex cecchino dell'esercito, James Barr. Le prove contro di lui sono schiaccianti, inequivocabili, eppure lui sostiene che abbiano preso la persona sbagliata, e chiede una sola cosa: "Trovatemi Jack Reacher". Ma Jack Reacher è un uomo molto difficile da trovare. Dal giorno del congedo, l'ex maggiore della polizia militare vagabonda per il Paese, fedele solo a verità e giustizia. All'insaputa di tutti, però, dalle spiagge di Miami è già partito per l'Indiana: non tanto per aiutare James Barr, ma per onorare una promessa fatta quattordici anni prima e inchiodarlo definitivamente.

Jack Reacher is even intrigerend als onderhoudend, even spannend als verslavend. Mannen willen hem zijn en vrouwen willen hem hebben. Reacher is op weg naar Langley, naar het hoofdkwartier van de CIA. Zijn oude afdeling daar heeft een nieuwe leider. Ze heet Susan en hij wil haar ontmoeten. Onderweg door Nebraska struikelt Reacher echter over een lokaal drama: een familie met een transportbedrijf houdt de omwonende boerengezinnen in een stalen greep van angst.
