Jack Reacher, adrift in the hellish heat of a Texas summer. Looking for a lift through the vast empty landscape. A woman stops, and offers a ride. She is young, rich and beautiful.But her husbands in jail. When he comes out, hes going to kill her.Her familys hostile, she cant trust the cops, and the lawyers wont help. She is entangled in a web of lies and prejudice, hatred and murder.Jack Reacher never could resist a lady in distress.
