LONDRES, EN LA ACTUALIDAD: Lily, una joven enóloga a punto de viajar a Italia por trabajo, recibe una inesperada convocatoria de un despacho de abogados. Al acudir a la cita, descubre que su abuela nació y fue dada en adopción en un hogar para madres solteras; las únicas pistas que tiene sobre su pasado familiar son una antigua receta de cocina y un programa del teatro La Scala de Milán, de 1946.

La convivencia en una pequeña comunidad de ingenieros españoles en el extranjero se desmorona tras desvelarse la relación que ha mantenido uno de ellos con la esposa de otro.

1992. Eight respectable, upstanding people have been found dead across the US. These deaths look like accidents and don't appear to be connected. Until one body - the victim of a fatal fall from a hospital window - generates some unexpected attention. That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who promptly calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher is assigned as the Army's representative. Reacher may be an exceptional soldier, but sweeping other people's secrets under the carpet isn't part of his skill set. As he races to discover the link between these victims, and who killed them, he must navigate around the ulterior motives of his new 'partners'. And all while moving into the sight line of some of the most dangerous people he has ever encountered. His mission is to uncover the truth. The question is: will Reacher bring the bad guys to justice the official way . . . or his way?

As institutions are challenged and toppled in unprecedented fashion, ripples of change ricochet through our characters’ lives as they are left to reckon with the future and a world they must rebuild from the ashes of war.
