Theres deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska . . . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But its the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher cant let go. The Duncans want Reacher gone--and its not just past secrets theyre trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, theyre just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble thats bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.
