As the biker awaits trial, the top priority then becomes protecting Janet Salter, the only reliable witness to the biker's drug transaction, and Reacher agrees to aid local law enforcement in keeping her alive. At the same time, a band of outlaw bikers, settled outside the town, are on edge after their leader is arrested on drug trafficking charges. Besides its freezing, snowy climate, the town hosts one of the largest prisons in the US, making the town and its law enforcement subject to the needs and demands of the gigantic correctional facility. Hours later, Reacher learns Bolton is not like most towns. Immersed in a frozen landscape, Reacher works with local law enforcement to help the fragile victims. Set in the town of Bolton, South Dakota, Reacher begins this adventure on a wrecked senior citizen tour bus after a near-miss with another motorist leaves the bus slipping and sliding on the icy road and trapped in a snowbank. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could have guessed-but so is the woman he’ll risk his life to save. But the next 61 hours will change everything. Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving.

Because a killer is coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses. If she’s going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces.

A bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation.
