Når man er Jack Reacher, er sandheden altid værd at rejse langt for. Gerrardsville, Colorado. Én tragisk hændelse. To øjenvidner. To modstridende beskrivelser. Det ene vidne ser en kvinde kaste sig ud foran en bus – det er tydeligvis selvmord. Det andet vidne er Jack Reacher. Og han ser, hvad der i virkeligheden sker – en mand i grå hættetrøje og jeans, hurtig og tyst som en skygge, skubber offeret i døden for derefter at tage hendes taske og komme væk.

Here are twenty meticulously plotted, intimate portraits of humanity at its best and worst, featuring assassins, CIA agents, gangsters, and more. A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. A rookie cop is assigned to the department’s file room. A ruthless killer only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he’s outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. Each story is entirely distinct. And with their economical prose and unexpected twists, each could only have been written by the creator of Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher wakes up alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a makeshift bed. His right arm has suffered some major damage. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing Reacher can recall is the car he hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. His captors assume Reacher was the driver’s accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk. A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .

Nella tranquilla cittadina di Gerrardsville, sotto il cielo azzurro del Colorado, una donna muore investita da un autobus. La polizia archivia il caso come suicidio, ma qualcosa non torna. E lo sa bene Jack Reacher, che ha assistito alla scena e ha visto un uomo muoversi furtivamente, spingere la donna sotto le ruote del mezzo e afferrare la sua borsa. Poco dopo, un’altra morte sospetta viene classificata come naturale e Reacher comincia a credere che non si tratti di una coincidenza.
