The Secret

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 Defence, 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?
