  • "While hitchhiking through West Texas, former MP Jack Reacher encounters a young woman seeking protection for herself and her little girl from her monstrous husband, due to be released from jail, and his horrible family--Résumé de l'éditeur."
  • "Ganz gegen seine Gewohnheit beschliesst Jack Reacher, der ehemalige geniale Ermittler der Militärpolizei, in der sengenden Hitze von Texas per Anhalter zu fahren. Tatsächlich stoppt ein weisser Cadillac mit der schönen jungen Carmen Greer am Steuer - die ihn anheuert, ihren Ehemann umzubringen. Doch was sich so perfide anhört, ist eine aus tiefer Verzweiflung geborene Idee. Jacks Interesse - und Mitgefühl - ist geweckt. Er verdingt sich als Hilfsarbeiter auf der Ranch, um Carmen zu beschützen. Mit mässigem Erfolg, denn der gewalttätige Ehemann wird im gemeinsamen Schlafzimmer erschossen - und die Ereignisse überstürzen sich mit tödlichen Konsequenzen."

  • "Another heartstopping page turner featuring Jack Reacher, hero of the new blockbuster movie starring Tom Cruise. Jack Reacher, adrift in the hellish heat of a Texas summer. Looking for a lift through the vast empty landscape. A woman stops, and offers a ride. She is young, rich and beautiful. But her husband's in jail. When he comes out, he's going to kill her. Her family's hostile, she can't trust the cops, and the lawyers won't help. She is entangled in a web of lies and prejudice, hatred and murder. Jack Reacher never could resist a lady in distress."
  • "Loner Jack Reacher gets a lift from seductive Carmen Greer, but it comes with a few hitches: a dangerous husband, a small town with secrets, and a plan. Now Reacher's part of it, and before the sun sets, the ride could cost Jack and Carmen their lives."
  • "In the small town of Echo, Texas, Jack Reacher attempts to prove a beautiful woman innocent of her abusive husband's murder, but is she?"

  • "Jack Reacher, the vagabond freelance lawman who never hesitates to stick his nose into private business, takes his lively act to Texas, embroiling himself in what starts as a messy domestic dispute before turning far more ominous. The rugged former army cop comes to the aid of Carmen Greer, who picks him up on the side of the road one morning outside Lubbock, then asks him to kill her abusive husband. Sloop Greer is getting out of prison in a few days, and Carmen fears he will start beating her again. Reacher declines, but agrees to protect Carmen, hiring on as a cowhand at the couple's remote ranch in Echo County, Tex., far outside Pecos. Within hours of Sloop's return from prison, where he was serving time for tax evasion, violence strikes. But the victim isn't Carmen; it's Sloop. He's found shot dead, and Carmen is arrested. End of story? Hardly. Most wandering heroes would move on at this point, but not Reacher. He begins taking a hard look at both Carmen and Sloop's past, as well as local history. What he finds ugly secrets, human suffering, political evil is repulsive to a man who's been around as many blocks as Reacher. -- from Publishers weekly."@en
  • "Loner Jack Reacher returns in this follow-up to "Running Blind, " thumbing his way through the west Texas desert. He's picked up by Carmen Greer, a troubled beauty with a story to tell. She tells him about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that is pure gothic. Carmen also has a plan, and Reacher soon becomes a part of it."
  • "Hitching rides is an unreliable mode of transport. That's Jack Reacher's conclusion. He's adrift in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer, and he needs to keep moving. The last thing he's worried about is exactly who picks him up."
  • "While hitchhiking through West Texas, ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is picked up by a young woman in need of protection for herself and her little girl from her abusive husband, who is about to be released from prison."
  • "Een voormalig militair agent krijgt in Texas een lift van een vrouw die op zoek is naar iemand die haar man voor haar wil vermoorden."
  • "Jack Reacher, a former military cop and now a loner and drifter, hitches a ride in the fearsome heat of a Texas summer. He wonders why a beautiful young woman, alone in a big Cadillac, would stop for him. Carmen Greer has her reasons, and Richter's not going to like the woman's proposition one bit."
  • "Jack Reacher stumbles into more trouble when he hitches a ride in Texas with a young woman seeking protection for herself and her little girl. Her name is Carmine Greer, and she wants Jack to kill her abusive husband, Sloop. When Jack refuses to do the job, Carmine does it herself--or so she says. Sloop's definitely dead, but Jack has a hunch that that Carmine's lying about her guilt. But why? Jack and a lawyer named Alice Aarons struggle to get to the truth."
  • "Thumbing across the scorched Texas desert, Jack Reacher has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is Carmen Greer. For Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen's got a story to tell, and it's a wild one - all about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that's purely gothic. She's also got a plan. Reacher's part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives."@en
