“Modern noir at its best…Here’s hoping Grant is hard at work on the next installment featuring his thoroughly compelling tough guy hero, David Trevellyan.” —Jeffery Deaver, on Even In his gritty, action-packed debut, Even , Andrew Grant introduced readers to David Trevellyan, a James Bond for the twentyfirst century. Now, Trevellyan returns in Grant’s latest, a fastpaced, modern thriller fueled by adrenaline and revenge. Obliged to leave New York City in the aftermath of his previous mission, David Trevellyan is summoned to the British Consulate in Chicago. To the same office where, just a week before, his new handler was attacked and shot by a Royal Navy Intelligence operative gone bad. Assigned the job of finding the rogue agent and putting an end to his treacherous scheme, Trevellyan soon finds that once again, his only hopes of saving countless innocent lives lie not within the system, but in his own instincts and skills.

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.
