To afsides byer i Colorado: Hope og Despair. Imellem dem tyve kilometer øde landevej. Jack Reacher vender aldrig om. Det ligger ikke i hans natur. Han skal bare have en kop kaffe. I stedet får han store problemer. I Lee Childs medrivende nye roman går Reacher - en mand uden frygt, uden illusioner, og med intet at tabe - i krig mod en by, der ikke blot vil af med ham, men også se ham død. Det var ikke ligefrem den velkomst, Reacher havde forventet. Han var bare på gennemrejse og passede sig selv.

Seks skud. Fem døde. En by i det centrale USA gribes af rædsel. Men blot få timer senere har politiet opklaret sagen. Med en enkelt undtagelse.

Og ganske rigtigt, den tidligere efterforsker i militærpolitiet er på vej fra sin helt særlige verden - uden telefon, uden fast adresse og uden forpligtelser. I Lee Childs overrumplende nye thriller kommer Reachers ankomst til at ændre alt ved en sag, der viser sig at være helt anderledes end først antaget.

È lì che ha prestato servizio come maggiore, prima di scegliere una vita libera lungo le strade d'America, al servizio della giustizia.

In 1945, when Congress began reviewing the record of the most conspicuous acts of courage by American soldiers during World War II, they recommended awarding the Medal of Honor to 432 recipients. Despite the fact that more than one million African-Americans served, not a single black soldier received the Medal of Honor. The omission remained on the record for over four decades.
