| Jack Reacher has decided to take the subway. Unfortunately, he sees a woman who causes him great concern. His attempts to defuse the situation distress her causing her to shoot herself. Afterwards, Reacher is interrogated by the police, a group from an unknown alphabet-soup agency, and some private contractors, within a few days. If anything, this causes him to be suspicious. A meeting with the next-of-kin uncovers a few clues, but not a whole lot of information. Reacher nonetheless follows each clue, which leads him to a soldier who is running for a Senate seat. Yet, the further he follows clues, the more he finds that does not make sense. Someone is lying, more people are being murdered, and witnesses are just disappearing. Who is lying does not matter so much as which person is actually the killer. | ||
