Synopsis
A las cinco de la tarde de un viernes nadie se fija en nada que no sea el camino que le lleva a casa. Así que no es difícil para un hombre pasar desapercibido detrás de sus gafas de sol y sus guantes. Aunque lleve consigo un rifle. Sin embargo, esa persona en la que nadie se había fijado, no tarda en darse a conocer descargando su arma contra la multitud. Seis disparos extraordinariamente efectivos, que 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.
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. In Lee Child's thriller, 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." "The gunman worked from a parking structure just thirty yards away - point-blank range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. His victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But when Reacher hears Barr's own words, he understands. And a slam-dunk case explodes." "Soon Reacher is teamed with a young defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle, Reacher is at his best." Moving in the shadows, picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher, the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness and respect his cunning - and then match him shot for shot.
