The year is 1988.
It seems as though Sam Reacher has always lived his life on the run.
After a series of wrong turns in adolescence, he was drafted at 18 and spit back out into the world tired, alone, and changed. Ready for a fresh start.
Unfortunately for Sam, trouble seems to find him. Even when he's avoiding it.
When he rolls into the sleepy town of Eddington, he's sure he's finally found a place to exist quietly.
But fate is seductively cruel and has other plans for Sam - and his heart.
