Liebe und Hass liegen manchmal gefährlich nah beieinander. Adair MacLaine und Sterling Ford könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein: Sie, das hübsche College-It-Girl und verwöhnte Tochter eines reichen Medienmoguls, er, der brillante aber arme Stipendiat.

I Lee Childs forbløffende thriller bemærker den tidligere militærpolitimand Jack Reacher mere end de fleste – og bliver netop af den grund kastet ud i en farlig konfliktsituation, der er tæt på at eksplodere mellem hænderne på ham. For den eneste måde at finde frem til sandheden på – og redde to uskyldige menneskers liv – er ved at gøre det på den hårde måde. Som også er Reachers foretrukne.

To afsides byer i Colorado: Hope og Despair. Imellem dem tyve kilometer øde landevej. Jack Reacher vender aldrig om. Det ligger ikke i hans natur. Han skal bare have en kop kaffe. I stedet får han store problemer. I Lee Childs medrivende nye roman går Reacher - en mand uden frygt, uden illusioner, og med intet at tabe - i krig mod en by, der ikke blot vil af med ham, men også se ham død. Det var ikke ligefrem den velkomst, Reacher havde forventet. Han var bare på gennemrejse og passede sig selv.

Seks skud. Fem døde. En by i det centrale USA gribes af rædsel. Men blot få timer senere har politiet opklaret sagen. Med en enkelt undtagelse. Den anklagede hævder selv, at man har fanget den forkerte. Derefter beder han om at få hentet Jack Reacher. Og ganske rigtigt, den tidligere efterforsker i militærpolitiet er på vej fra sin helt særlige verden - uden telefon, uden fast adresse og uden forpligtelser. I Lee Childs overrumplende nye thriller kommer Reachers ankomst til at ændre alt ved en sag, der viser sig at være helt anderledes end først antaget.
