      Píše se rok 1992. Kapitán Jack Reacher používá při své práci vojenského vyšetřovatele nestandardní, ale velmi účinné metody. Také proto si jej vybere ministr obrany, aby se ve speciální pracovní skupině podílel na vyšetřování série podivných, zdánlivě nesouvisejících úmrtí starších mužů. Jeden záhadně vypadl z nemocničního okna. Druhý požil neobvyklý jed. Další zahynul na jezeře při rybaření. A tím seznam zdaleka nekončí… Reacher ve skupině zastupuje americkou armádu a spolupracuje s agenty FBI, CIA a ministerstva financí. Ukáže se, že všichni mrtví muži jsou spojeni s tragickou událostí, k níž došlo v Indii před třiadvaceti lety – a která se nepřímo týká i ministra obrany a jeho manželky. Pracovní skupina musí prokázat výsledky. A to brzy. Jinak se v této vysoké hře, kterou nedobrovolně hrají, stanou její členové obětními beránky. Reacher to dobře ví, ale nedělá si hlavu ani z politiků, ani z mocenského zákulisí. Chce jenom rychle najít vraha a odhalit tajemství, které stálo život tolik lidí. A tak si nakonec – jako vždycky – poradí po svém. Neobvykle a efektivně. Tajemství je dvacátým osmým svazkem reacherovské série. Počínaje thrillerem Ochránce ji Child píše spolu se svým bratrem Andrewem.

      The gripping new Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child. Gerrardsville, Colorado. One tragic event. Two witnesses. Two conflicting accounts. One witness sees a woman throw herself in front of a bus - clearly suicide. The other witness is Jack Reacher. And he sees what really happened - a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushed the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away. Reacher follows the killer on foot, not knowing that this was no random act of violence. It is part of something much bigger...a sinister, secret conspiracy, with powerful people on the take, enmeshed in an elaborate plot that leaves no room for error. If any step is compromised, the threat will have to be quickly and permanently removed. But when the threat is Reacher, there is No Plan B....

    • Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle read from Lee Child, creator of 'today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of' (Ken Follett). In a nameless city, two ruthless rival criminal gangs, one Albanian, the other Ukrainian, are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch. Reacher is trained to notice things. He's on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too ... obviously hoping to get rich quick. As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in. The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble. What hold could the gangs possibly have on the old guy? Will Reacher sit back and let bad things happen? Or can he twist the situation to everyone's benefit? 'This is a random universe,' he says. 'Once in a blue moon things turn out just right.' The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.
