In de warme zon van de Florida Keys kan zelfs de doorgaans zwervende Jack Reacher niet weerstaan om hier drie maanden te blijven. Deze comfortabele dagen worden echter onderbroken door de privé-detective Costello uit New York. Hij beweert dat 'mevrouw Jacob' hem heeft ingehuurd om Reacher te vinden, maar Reacher kent niemand met de naam 'Jacob' en ontkent zijn identiteit. Tot zijn schrik wordt Costello diezelfde avond vermoord, met tien afgehakte vingertoppen! Reacher voelt zich schuldig en besluit onmiddellijk naar New York te gaan om 'mevrouw Jacob' te vinden en de reden achter de moord op Costello te achterhalen. Eenmaal in New York ontdekt hij dat de mysterieuze 'mevrouw Jacob' de dochter is van generaal Garber, Judy. Judy volgt slechts de laatste wens van haar vader om Reacher te vinden en hem een erfenis over te dragen. Ze begrijpt niet waarom de privé-detective, die aanvankelijk alleen maar de opdracht had om iemand te vinden, in zulke gevaarlijke situaties terechtkomt. Na de begrafenis van generaal Garber wordt Judy echter onder vuur genomen! Reacher ontdekt dat de schutter de moordenaar van Costello is, en beiden realiseren zich dat zij niet de enige zijn die de identiteit van 'mevrouw Jacob' willen achterhalen; generaal Garber had ook zijn redenen om Reacher te vinden, en het was beslist niet alleen om de erfenis over te dragen…
