โฆ Synopsis
Family secrets come back to haunt Jack Reacher in this electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, a superb craftsman of suspense (Entertainment Weekly).
Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to
follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California.
He doesnt get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he
sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was
born. He thinks, Whats one extra day? He takes the detour.
At the same moment, in the same isolated area, a car breaks down. Two
young Canadians had been on their way to New York City to sell a
treasure. Now theyre stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of
nowhere. The owners seem almost too friendly. Its a strange place, but
its all there is.
The next morning, in the city clerks office, Reacher asks about the
old family home. Hes told no one named Reacher ever lived in town. Hes
always known his father left and never returned, but now Reacher
wonders, Was he ever there in the first place?
As Reacher explores his fathers life, and as the Canadians face
lethal dangers, strands of different stories begin to merge. Then
Reacher makes a shocking discovery: The present can be tough, but the
past can be tense . . . and deadly.
Superb . . . [Lee] Childs spare prose continues to set a very high bar.Publishers Weekly (boxed and starred review)
