Plot summary
It's 2am, and Jack Reacher is travelling on the New York underground. He notices a suspicious looking passenger who matches many of the specifications for a potential suicide bomber. When he approaches her with an offer of assistance she abruptly terminates herself in a decidedly indecorous manner.
NYPD are eager to close the file without investigating the tragedy, but Reacher has other ideas. He wants to know what happened that night, and, more importantly, why. Is everyone as honest as they claim to be? And if so, then why are there so many questions to be asked and avoided?
Reacher is repeatedly and emphatically warned off the case, but his guilt over possibly triggering the poor woman's suicide won't let him rest until he has pursued the mystery all the way to the very end. In a world gone grey with moral and ethical relativism only Jack Reacher stubbornly sticks to his high standards no matter what the personal cost.
