Ostracised by the government, the Air Force and even his own family, aerial combat expert Patrick McLanahan has reached rock bottom. Or so he thought. While testing cutting-edge weapons in the skies over Libya, he and his private team are drawn into a treacherous struggle between northern Africa's power-hungry rulers. In the face of tragic loss, unexpected defeat and ultimate betrayal, the ex-USAF general must finally decide where his loyalties lie -- and soon. For despite all the power at his command, it may be too late to stop the destruction rolling across the Sahara. And this could be McLanahan's final battle.

      Lo spettro del bioterrorismo. Le agenzie di controspionaggio dell’Occidente sono in “allarme arancio”, il massimo livello di allerta. Come sempre, Nick Stone è in prima linea. Insieme alla sua nuova collega Suzy viene inviato in Malesia per eliminare un biochimico di Al Qaeda che sta progettando una serie di attentati. Per il bersaglio non ci sono speranze: l’azione è rapida, brutale. Al ritorno, Nick spera di poter finalmente dedicare un po’ di tempo alla figlia adottiva Kelly, ormai quattordicenne. La ragazza, che a sette anni aveva assistito alla strage della propria famiglia ed era stata salvata da Nick, non è riuscita a superare l’orribile shock ed è caduta nel vortice della droga. Nick avverte tutta la propria impotenza, ma sembra l’unico in grado di aiutarla. Vorrebbe esserle più vicino, tuttavia la guerra al terrorismo non fa sconti a nessuno. Richiamato in missione, scopre che un pericolo mortale incombe su New York, Londra, Berlino, metropoli nel mirino di terroristi islamici giunti proprio dalla Malesia per diffondervi il virus di una peste polmonare, nome in codice Dark Winter, le cui spore hanno viaggiato con una partita di bottiglie di vino. Ancora una volta, l’ex agente del SAS è costretto a collaborare con i suoi vecchi superiori, non meno spietati del nemico.

      Hitching rides is an unreliable mode of transport. In temperatures of over a hundred degrees, you’re lucky if a driver will open the door of his air-conditioned car long enough to let you slide in. That’s Jack Reacher’s conclusion. He’s adrift in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer, and he needs to keep moving through the wide open vastness, like a shark in the water. The last thing he’s worried about is exactly who picks him up. He never expected it to be somebody like Carmen. She’s alone, driving a Cadillac. She’s beautiful, young and rich. She has a little girl who is being watched by unseen observers. And a husband who is in jail. Who will beat her senseless when he comes out. If he doesn’t kill her first. Reacher is no stranger to trouble. And at Carmen’s remote ranch in Echo County there is plenty of it: lies and prejudice, hatred and murder. Reacher can never resist a lady in distress. Her family is hostile. The cops can’t be trusted. The lawyers won’t help. If Reacher can’t set things straight, who can?
