It"s just a voice plucked from the air: `The American wants a hundred million dollars".For what? Who from? It"s 1996, and the Soviets are long gone. But now there"s a new enemy. In an apartment in Hamburg, a group of smartly-dressed young Saudis are planning something big.In the morning they gave Reacher a medal, and in the afternoon they sent him back to school.Jack Reacher is fresh off a secret mission. The Army pats him on the back and sends him to a school with only three students: Reacher, an FBI agent, and a CIA analyst. Their assignment? To find that American. And what he"s selling. And to whom. There is serious shit going on, signs of a world gone mad.
