Riassunto

Jack Reacher finds himself in bad company in the second novel in Lee Child’s New York Times bestselling series.

Jack Reacher is an innocent bystander when he witnesses a woman kidnapped off a Chicago street in broad daylight. In the wrong place at the wrong time, he’s kidnapped with her. Chained together, locked in the back of a stifling van, and racing across America to an unknown destination for an unknown purpose, they’re at the mercy of a group of men demanding an impossible ransom. Because this mysterious woman is worth more than Reacher ever suspected. Now he has to save them both—from the inside out—or die trying...

Recensione:

“Tough, elegant, and thoughtful.”—Robert B. Parker

“A riveting thriller, brought to life with well-observed detail and paced with taut, evocative prose. It’s a winner.”—Greg Iles

“A thoroughly engrossing tale told by an author who doesn’t miss a beat.” —Rocky Mountain News

“Opens with a bang.”—Chicago Tribune

“A literate scenario-cum-thriller.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Lee Child’s knowledge of the modern military and its combat tactics amazed me. A chilling and all-too realistic story, and a damn good book.”—Steve Thayer

“Furiously suspenseful.”—Kirkus Reviews
