Jack Reacher plans to follow the autumn sun on an epic road trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesnt get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been - the town where his father was born. He thinks, whats one extra day? He takes the detour. At the very same moment, close by, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians are trying to get to New York City to sell a treasure. Theyre stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. Its a strange place, but its all there is. The next morning in the city clerks office, Reacher asks about the old family home. Hes told no one named Reacher ever lived in that town. He knows his father never went back. Now he wonders, was he ever there in the first place?
