En mars 1997, quand une femme de militaire est assassinee derriere un bar dans une petite ville du Mississippi, Jack Reacher fait encore partie de l armee. Infiltre, il enquete au sein de l unite suspectee dans la base toute proche. Mais il derange, a tel point qu il finit par douter du bien-fonde de sa mission et de l integrite des hommes qui l entourent. Certains seraient-ils prets a tout pour etouffer l affaire ? Doit-il obeir a la hierarchie ou jouer la carte de la verite ? Un dilemme de taille.
Livre fondateur de la serie, Mission confidentielle revele pourquoi Reacher est devenu ce qu il est, ce loup solitaire sans attaches.

Un precieux prequel suintant la testosterone et puant la cordite. Un thriller jouissif. Philippe Blanchet, RollingStone.

Dote d un vrai sens du rythme et de l action, un page-turner avec le petit supplement d ame qui fait les bons romans. Hubert Prolongeau, Marianne."

Work Description

Everything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997.

A lonely railroad track. A crime scene. A cover-up. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington.

Reacher is ordered undercover to find out everything he can and then to vanish. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, Reacher meets local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux, who has a thirst for justice and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain they can trust each other, they reluctantly join forces. Finding unexpected layers to the case, Reacher works to uncover the truth, while others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to shatter his faith in his mission—and turn him into a man to be feared.
