Mother's Rest. Un piccolo paese in mezzo a un immenso campo di grano, popolato da individui scontrosi e lunatici. Jack Reacher si chiede il perché di quel nome particolare, ma nessuno sembra intenzionato a dare spiegazioni. Lungo la strada, Reacher incontra una donna visibilmente turbata: Michelle Chang. La giovane sembra averlo scambiato per un altro e, chiarito il malinteso, si confida: l'uomo con cui stava seguendo un'investigazione privata è scomparso da giorni e, ormai, Michelle teme il peggio.

Diesen Mann unterschätzen Kriminelle nur ein Mal – der neue Fall für Jack Reacher

Am Busbahnhof von Gerrardsville, Colorado, beobachtet der ehemalige Militärpolizist Jack Reacher, wie eine Frau vor einen fahrenden Bus gestoßen wird. Es gelingt ihm nicht, den Täter dingfest zu machen. Doch er gerät so ins Visier skrupelloser Verbrecher, die jeden Zeugen eliminieren wollen. Nichts darf ihre Operation gefährden. Allerdings haben sie nicht mit einem Mann wie Reacher gerechnet. Als der bedroht wird, geht er sofort zum Gegenangriff über.

Um diesen Gegner zu schlagen, muss Reacher sterben! Unter der gleißenden Sonne durchstreift der ehemalige Militärpolizist Jack Reacher die Wüste Arizonas. Da entdeckt er einen Wagen, der gegen den einzigen Baum weit und breit gekracht ist. Die Fahrerin hält ihn zunächst für ein Mitglied der Bande, die den Unfall verursacht hat. Doch nachdem Reacher das Missverständnis ausgeräumt hat, entschließt er sich sogar, ihr zu helfen, die Verbrecher zu stellen.

Siamo nel 1990: il Muro di Berlino è caduto ed è finita un'era, non solo per i regimi comunisti ma anche per la macchina da guerra americana che di colpo si ritrova, mastodontica, senza un nemico da combattere. Il maggiore Reacher e molti valenti colleghi sono stati trasferiti in fretta, come se qualcuno presagisse un pericolo. E qualcosa in effetti accade. Un generale che avrebbe dovuto trovarsi in Germania muore d'infarto, in uno squallido motel vicino alla base di Reacher.
