About the book: 2012 / In this city, everything belongs to one person: a factory, a hotel, a bank and even a church that preaches the imminent end of the world. They don’t like strangers here and immediately throw them out. Jack Reacher just wanted to drink coffee at a local restaurant, but he ran into four thugs, ended up in a prison cell and, as a result, was expelled from the city. Now he will not back down until he finds out what secret the residents of this strange settlement are trying to hide. After all, in the end, Reacher has nothing to lose...Lee Child is one of the best modern authors working in the detective-action genre. His hero Jack Reacher has become a truly iconic figure, the embodiment of the indomitable detective hero.
