Bad luck and trouble

Summary: From a helicopter high above the empty California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night&#8230;. In Chicago, a woman learns that an elite team of ex&#8211;army investigators is being hunted down one by one.... And on the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher&#8212;soldier, cop, hero&#8212;is pulled out of his wandering life by a code that few other people could understand. From the first shocking scenes in Lee Child&#8217;s explosive new novel, Jack Reacher is plunged like a knife into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends&#8230;and is on its way to something even worse.<br><br>A decade postmilitary, Reacher has an ATM card and the clothes on his back&#8212;no phone, no ties, and no address. But now a woman from his old unit has done the impossible. From Chicago, Frances Neagley finds Reacher, using a signal only the eight members of their elite team of army investigators would know. She tells him a terrifying story&#8212;about the brutal death of a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his old team, scrambling to raise the living, bury the dead, and connect the dots in a mystery that is growing darker by the day. The deeper they dig, the more they don&#8217;t know: about two other comrades who have suddenly gone missing&#8212;and a trail that leads into the neon of Vegas and the darkness of international terrorism.<br><br>For now, Reacher can only react. To every sound. Every suspicion. Every scent and every moment. Then Reacher will trust the people he once trusted with his life&#8212;and take this thing all the way to the end. Because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they&#8217;d better be ready for what comes right back at them&#8230;
