But when Reacher hears Barr’s own words, he understands. But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. His victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The gunman worked from a parking structure just thirty yards away–point-blank range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. In Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller, Reacher’s arrival will change everything-about a case that isn’t what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot–and by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth.… And sure enough, from the world he lives in-no phone, no address, no commitments–ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming.

The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror.
