About the book
Jack Reacher, riding the New York subway at two in the morning, spots a woman whose behavior suggests a possible suicide bomber. He steps toward her to offer help, and she pulls a gun from her bag and shoots herself. The police are keen to drop the matter, but Reacher, troubled by the thought that he may have set off her act, wants to know why Susan Mark, a Pentagon staffer, left Washington for New York. Warnings to back off only harden his resolve, and he narrates his search for answers in the first person.
