| Jack Reacher, no middle name, is a tall man and a wanderer of a sort. At this time, his wanderings have taken him to South Dakota--in the winter. He had come on a tour bus, but became stranded in a town called Bolton. Unfortunately, this situation causes him to become embroiled in local troubles which start with a threatened witness in a drug case and end with a string of murders by a hidden assassin. Reacher must protect the witness, aid the local police, perhaps find the assassin, and avoid squatting pseudo-hippies. | ||
