Descripción editorial
Algo grande se cuece cuando la CIA, el Departamento de Estado y las Fuerzas Especiales echan el resto por dar con el escurridizo Jack Reacher y convencerle de que neutralice a un misterioso francotirador de élite, responsable de un audaz intento de asesinar al presidente de Francia. En la pequeña lista de sospechosos figura uno a quien Reacher mandó a prisión tiempo atrás y de quien se sabe que le ha jurado eterna venganza. Así que nadie mejor que el legendario ex investigador militar para darle caza. Y con urgencia, porque los líderes del mundo esperan reunirse en el G-8 y ninguno quiere que le vuelen la cabeza ante las cámaras.
En un desafío irrenunciable, Reacher conducirá su persecución por Estados Unidos y Europa intentando descubrir quiénes y por qué contrataron al asesino antes de cumplir con la orden de matarle. Un asunto personal que consiguió el VIII Premio RBA de Novela Negra.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A sniper threatens the forthcoming G8 conference, to be held at a stately manor outside London, in Thriller Award finalist Childs's clever, deceptively straightforward 19th Jack Reacher novel (after 2013's Never Go Back). Protected by a glass shield, the French president escapes unharmed when someone fires a shot at him while he's delivering an outdoor address in Paris. One of only four people in the world could have fired the 50-calibre bullet with such accuracy from a distance of 1,400 yards. One is John Kott, a former Special Forces soldier, who was recently released from prison, where Reacher helped put him 15 years earlier for killing an Army sergeant in a fight. Gen. Tom O'Day, of whom Reacher is wary, manages to recruit the peripatetic former M.P. to look into the matter. Reacher first visits Kott's empty house in rural Arkansas before traveling to Paris and finally to London, where he tangles with gangsters en route to trying to stop the sniper from striking again. Reacher's keen analytic mind in action will entertain readers as much as the assorted physical means he uses to take down the bad guys.
