. There’s deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska . and Jack Reacher walks right into it. . But it’s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can’t let go. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they’re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. The Duncans want Reacher gone—and it’s not just past secrets they’re trying to hide. For Reacher, that was also impossible. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that’s bearing down on him. 2011
