Svazek obsahuje zkrácené verze čtyř úspěšných románů různých žánrů od světových autorů, doplněné stručnými informacemi o jejich tvůrcích. Prvním románem je příběh bývalého vojenského vyšetřovatele Jacka Reachera, který se postaví na stranu spravedlnosti, když ho najme záhadný pan Lane, aby vystopoval únosce jeho ženy a dcery. Reacher využívá své zkušenosti k odhalení pachatele, ale otázkou zůstává, zda Lane hraje čistou hru. Druhý příběh se odehrává v zapadlém městečku Boone Creek, kde se objevují tajemná světla na hřbitově. Novinář Jeremy Marshe, známý svým racionálním přístupem k paranormálním jevům, se snaží najít logické vysvětlení, ale jeho objektivita je ohrožena, když se dostává do kontaktu s emocemi. Třetí román sleduje inspektora Daniela Jacquota, který se ocitá uprostřed vyšetřování vícerozměrné vraždy v poklidném provensálském městečku. Oběťmi jsou členové rodiny německého lékaře, což vyvolává vzpomínky na události druhé světové války.
