Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat...but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness. "Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times).

Jack Reacher deve tornare in servizio, richiamato dal dipartimento di Stato e dalla CIA. Qualcuno ha colpito il presidente francese mentre teneva un discorso a Parigi. Un solo colpo, sparato con estrema precisione da una distanza eccezionalmente lunga, un colpo che sarebbe stato letale se non l'avessero fermato le barriere protettive. 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... La strada che Jack Reacher ha di fronte è disseminata di scelte difficili, spietati mafiosi, ex mercenari e soprattutto nessuna possibilita di chiedere aiuto. Ad affiancarlo nella sua caccia c'è Casey Nice, una giovanissima ma brillante (oltre che affascinante) 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. Non può permettere che accada di nuovo. Questa volta non può commettere nessun errore. È una questione personale...
