Summary of the Book

Jack Reacher is miles away from Indiana when a former army infantry sniper kills five apparently random people in a crowded public plaza. Reacher is living his nomadic life, and comes to Indiana the minute he sees the news on CNN. But Reacher forms his own conclusions as James Barr, the sniper, is beaten to the point of not remembering the shoot-out incident. Meanwhile, an NBC news reporter called Ann Yanni is set out to collect more information. Reacher lets her be a part of the investigation based on the deal that she later helps in public expose on the Barr case, and lets him use her car! Will they be able to find the actual reason for the massacre based in the evidences deliberately left behind by Barr?
