Jack Reacher est un ancien de la police militaire. Un peu loup solitaire, sans domicile fixe ni téléphone portable, un brin cynique et toujours aux aguets. Lorsqu'une nuit il prend la ligne 6 du métro new-yorkais, il remarque immédiatement une femme dont l'attitude correspond point par point, selon les critères du Mossad, à celle d'une candidate à l'attentat suicide. Lorsqu'il tente de la raisonner et de la désarmer, elle se suicide. Cette mort semble intéresser du beau monde - al-Qaida, le FBI, le NYPD, des Ukrainiens, un sénateur au passé trouble. Tous sont persuadés que Susan Mark a confié quelque chose à Reacher. Et, malgré la meute qui le poursuit, c'est tout naturellement que celui-ci décide de prendre les choses en main. Lee Child, vieux routier du polar, en pleine forme, tire les ficelles avec malice et déploie un style efficace et alerte. Du suspense, du plaisir...

Jack Reacher, de loner zonder baan, zonder paspoort en zonder adres, wordt benaderd door de aantrekkelijke M.I. Froelich - roepnaam Froelich. Froelich is sinds kort hoofd van de Secret Service. En ze heeft een probleem: iemand dreigt de Amerikaanse vice-president te vermoorden. Reacher biedt aan haar te helpen en treedt vervolgens toe tot de Secret Service, waar hij behoorlijk uit de toon valt. Instinctief verzet hij zich tegen de bureaucratie en de vooroordelen die er gemeengoed zijn. Reachers boerenslimheid, ruwe charme en eigengereidheid passen helemaal niet bij de starre organisatie. Maar tegen een sluipmoordenaar zonder gezicht komen deze eigenschappen buitengewoon goed van pas... 'In feite doet hij precies waar iedereen wel eens van droomt.'
