      As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name. Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against. Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

      With unmatched suspense and emotional insight, Harlan Coben explores the big secrets and little lies that can destroy a relationship, a family, and even a town in this powerful new thriller. Suburban New Jersey Detective Napoleon “Nap” Dumas hasn't been the same since senior year of high school, when his twin brother Leo and Leo’s girlfriend Diana were found dead on the railroad tracks—and Maura, the girl Nap considered the love of his life, broke up with him and disappeared without explanation. For fifteen years, Nap has been searching, both for Maura and for the real reason behind his brother's death. And now, it looks as though he may finally find what he's been looking for. When Maura's fingerprints turn up in the rental car of a suspected murderer, Nap embarks on a quest for answers that only leads to more questions—about the woman he loved, about the childhood friends he thought he knew, about the abandoned military base near where he grew up, and mostly about Leo and Diana—whose deaths are darker and far more sinister than Nap ever dared imagine.

      Jack Reacher hoeft nergens heen en heeft alle tijd van de wereld. Dus een afgelegen stationnetje met de merkwaardige naam Mother's Rest lijkt hem een prima plaats om een zinloze tussenstop te maken. Hij verwacht een paar stoffige, verlaten huizen te vinden, of een eenzame grafzerk. In plaats daarvan treft hij een vrouw aan die wacht op een vermiste privédetective. Plus een raadselachtig briefje over tweehonderd doden en een stadje vol zwijgende, wantrouwige mensen. Weglopen zou makkelijk zijn. Maar dat is tegen Jack Reachers principes.

      Na een moeizame tocht vanuit South Dakota is Jack Reacher eindelijk in Virginia aangekomen. Zijn doel: het oude hoofdkwartier van de 110th MP Special Unit – zo ongeveer het enige thuis dat hij ooit gekend heeft. Waarom? Hij wil de nieuwe commandant van de eenheid, majoor Susan Turner, mee uit eten vragen. Hij vond haar stem over de telefoon aantrekkelijk. Maar de officier in het kantoortje van de commandant is geen vrouw. Waar is Susan Turner? Jack Reacher wordt met twee onthutsende zaken geconfronteerd, de ene nogal gewelddadig, de andere te persoonlijk om over na te denken. Krijgt hij – of iemand anders – spijt van zijn besluit om terug te gaan?
