After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His destination: the headquarters of his old unit the 110th MP. It was the closest thing to a home he ever had. Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer Major Susan Turner. But the officer sitting behind Reacher's old desk isn't Susan Turner. What Reacher doesn't expect is what comes next. He himself is in big trouble accused of a 16-year-old homicide. And he certainly doesn't expect to hear these words: “You're back in the army Major. And your ass is mine.” Will he be sorry he went back? Or - will someone else?
