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, from the world he lives in -- no phone, no address, no commitments -- ex-military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. Reacher's arrival will change everything -- about a case that isn't what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot -- and by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth.
