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...

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.

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?

Six shots. Five dead. A heartland city is plunged into terror, and the police quickly conclude they have a clear case. However, the accused insists he’s innocent and requests Jack Reacher. The ex-military investigator, living off the grid, soon arrives to uncover the truth. As Reacher delves deeper, he realizes the case is far from straightforward, with lives intertwined in unexpected ways and a killer who missed one critical shot. The gunman, a trained sniper named James Barr, acted from a nearby parking structure, targeting innocent victims. Yet, Barr’s desire for Reacher’s involvement raises questions, as Reacher is the last person Barr would want. When Reacher hears Barr’s words, the case takes a dramatic turn. Partnering with a young defense attorney battling her D.A. father and a prosecution team hiding secrets, Reacher navigates a complex battlefield. He thrives in the shadows, inching closer to the unseen puppet master orchestrating the chaos. To prevail, Reacher must understand his adversary’s ruthlessness and cunning, ultimately preparing for a confrontation that will test his resolve and skills, matching him shot for shot.

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
