Women are dying. Women who have nothing in common except the fact they once worked for the military. And they knew Jack Reacher years ago. How and why these women are in danger baffles the elite FBI team working the case. There is no trace evidence. There are no obvious links among the victims. The bodies have no fatal wounds, and few distinguishing marks. And the killer has entered and exited their homes like a summer breeze. Are these the perfect crimes? And what is the motivation behind such deadly care and precision? There is only one certainty: A new kind of killer is at work, one so calm and cautious that even the brilliant Jack Reacher is left running blind.
