Synopsis:
Jack Reacher washes up in the Florida Keys with his savings running out; he spends his days digging pools and his nights as the bouncer in the local strip club. But a private investigator intrudes upon his tropical refuge, seeking Reacher out. When he discovers the PI’s lifeless beaten body lying in the street, Reacher heads north to determine who is trying to find him and why.
Tracing the dead man’s trail to New York, Reacher discovers the PI was working for Reacher’s former commanding officer, mentor and close friend Leon Garber. Reacher teams up with Garber’s daughter Jodie, a sharp Wall Street lawyer, to find out why Leon needed Reacher’s help and they find themselves embroiled in a life-threatening search for the truth—and the deeper they dig, the more dangerous and twisted their path becomes.
