Po epice a interruptovanej jazde po celej ceste z snehu v Južnom Dakote, Jack Reacher má konečne vyrobiť to Virginia. His destination: a sturdy kamenné budovy a krátke autobusy jazda z Washington DC ., headquarters jeho starej jednotky, 110th MP. It was the closest thing to a home he ever had. Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. He liked her voice on the phone. Ale úradník sediaci za Reacher's starý album isn't a woman. Ak sa Susan Turner nevyskytuje[unk]What Reacher nie je expect is čo sa nachádza next. He himself je v veľkých rúrach, udalosť na sixteen-year-old homicide. And he certainly doesn't expect to hear these words: 'You're back in the army, Major. And your ass is mine.'Will he be sorry he went back? Or - will someone else?
