New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t. And if you think Reacher isn’t going to get involved . . . then you don’t know Jack.
Susan Mark the fifth passenger had a big secret and her plain little life was being watched in Washington and California and Afghanistan—by dozens of people with one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or just enough to get him killed. A race has begun through the streets of Manhattan a maze crowded with violent skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. For Jack Reacher a man who trusts no one and likes it that way the finish line comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.
