    Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. First – a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing. Second – a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help. Third – wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more.

  • Het is het jaar 1992. Kapitein Jack Reacher gebruikt bij zijn werk als militair onderzoeker onconventionele, maar zeer effectieve methoden. Hij wordt door de minister van Defensie gekozen om deel te nemen aan een speciale werkgroep die een reeks vreemde, schijnbaar niet-verbonden sterfgevallen van oudere mannen onderzoekt. Eén man viel mysterieuze uit een ziekenhuisraam, een ander consumeerde een ongebruikelijk vergif, en weer een ander kwam om het leven tijdens het vissen op een meer. De lijst stopt daar niet. Reacher vertegenwoordigt het Amerikaanse leger in de groep en werkt samen met agenten van de FBI, CIA en het ministerie van Financiën. Al snel blijkt dat alle overleden mannen verbonden zijn met een tragische gebeurtenis die zich drieëntwintig jaar geleden in India heeft voorgedaan, en die ook de minister van Defensie en zijn vrouw raakt. De werkgroep moet snel resultaten tonen, anders worden de leden in deze gevaarlijke situatie als zondebokken gebruikt. Reacher is zich hiervan bewust, maar laat zich niet afleiden door politici of machtsintriges. Hij wil alleen de moordenaar snel vinden en het geheim onthullen dat zoveel levens heeft gekost. En zoals altijd, vindt hij zijn eigen, ongewone en effectieve manier om dit te doen.

    As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name. Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against. Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

    “Modern noir at its best…Here’s hoping Grant is hard at work on the next installment featuring his thoroughly compelling tough guy hero, David Trevellyan.” —Jeffery Deaver, on Even In his gritty, action-packed debut, Even , Andrew Grant introduced readers to David Trevellyan, a James Bond for the twentyfirst century. Now, Trevellyan returns in Grant’s latest, a fastpaced, modern thriller fueled by adrenaline and revenge. Obliged to leave New York City in the aftermath of his previous mission, David Trevellyan is summoned to the British Consulate in Chicago. To the same office where, just a week before, his new handler was attacked and shot by a Royal Navy Intelligence operative gone bad. Assigned the job of finding the rogue agent and putting an end to his treacherous scheme, Trevellyan soon finds that once again, his only hopes of saving countless innocent lives lie not within the system, but in his own instincts and skills.
