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.
