Seis disparos extraordinariamente efectivos, dejan el trágico resultado de cinco muertos. El asesino deja un rastro fácil de seguir. Así que la policía no tarda en atraparlo. Su nombre es James Barr. Un caso muy desagradable pero de fácil resolución... O quizá realmente lo sería si el acusado no insistiera en que él no es realmente el hombre al que buscan, ni conociera a Jack Reacher, ni solicitara su presencia. Reacher es un ex militar, un tipo duro que vive al margen de las normas establecidas, que por mucho que busque relajarse no puede estar inactivo durante mucho tiempo. Así que, con apenas ayudas externas, Reacher comienza su investigación particular que pronto le lleva a nuevas y sorprendentes conclusiones. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, ex-military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter--a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right--and soon the slam-dunk case explodes. Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning--and then beat him shot for shot.
