L'agente dell'FBI Aloysius Pendergast ha sempre fatto di tutto per tenere lontano dai guai la collega Constance Greene. Ma stavolta potrebbe essere molto difficile proteggere quella donna straordinaria ed enigmatica. Durante l'ultimo caso, a Savannah, il trio Pendergast, Coldmoon e Greene ha trovato una macchina che consente di viaggiare nel tempo e Greene l'ha usata per catapultarsi nella New York di fine Ottocento, a Five Points, il peggiore dei bassifondi di tutta la città dove lei stessa, quasi un secolo e mezzo prima, ancora bambina, si aggirava infreddolita e vestita di stracci.

Nella tranquilla cittadina di Gerrardsville, sotto il cielo azzurro del Colorado, una donna muore investita da un autobus. La polizia archivia il caso come suicidio, ma qualcosa non torna. E lo sa bene Jack Reacher, che ha assistito alla scena e ha visto un uomo muoversi furtivamente, spingere la donna sotto le ruote del mezzo e afferrare la sua borsa. Poco dopo, un’altra morte sospetta viene classificata come naturale e Reacher comincia a credere che non si tratti di una coincidenza.

Mi guardo intorno e vedo il nulla. Proprio ciò che cercavo. Questa cittadina di confine non ha niente da offrire: nessun negozio decente, nemmeno un posto dove bere un buon caffè. Qui non ci viene nessuno in vacanza: qui ci si arriva solo se si ha un motivo. Io un motivo ce l’ho. E se non ce l’ho, lo trovo. Sempre. Per questo, quando osservo la scena che ho di fronte, non posso non farmi qualche domanda. Una strada deserta dell’Arizona, un fuoristrada schiantato contro l’unico albero nel raggio di miglia e miglia, nessuna traccia del guidatore. Domande che esigono una risposta.

Jack Reacher è in viaggio. Seduto su un autobus Greyhound che attraversa l'America, si occupa dei suoi affari e dei suoi pensieri, senza una destinazione precisa da raggiungere e con tutto il tempo a disposizione per arrivarci. A pochi sedili di distanza, però, vede che un anziano signore sta per diventare una vittima. Si è addormentato mentre una voluminosa busta di soldi gli sfugge dalla tasca e un ragazzo dietro di lui aspetta solo il momento giusto per fregargliela. Non succederà. Il vecchio ringrazia Reacher.
