A serial killer targets a beautiful heiress in this romantic thriller. Regan Hamilton Madison, an executive at a family-run chain of luxury hotels, goes to a seminar led by a popular and disreputable psychiatrist, who tells his attendees to write down the names of people who have personally wronged them and whom the attendees would just as soon see dead. But Regan misses the opportunity to burn her list, a task performed by everyone else at the seminar. Not long after, the people on Regan's list start dying one by one, and handsome Chicago detective Alex Buchanan--much against his wishes--is assigned to protect Regan.

The ninth thriller to star ex-military cop Jack Reacher literally opens with a bang--several of them, in fact. A sniper lurks in a parking garage during rush hour and calmly picks off five people exiting an office building. Overwhelming physical evidence names the perpetrator as Gulf War veteran James Barr. Barr, now in police custody, insists on his innocence and asks to speak to Jack Reacher. Reacher seems an odd choice for a defense witness; he`s still angry that Barr walked away scot-free from a similar incident in which he gunned down four people in Kuwait. Surprisingly, Reacher becomes convinced of Barr`s innocence; unfortunately, a jail beating has left the suspect with amnesia, making him unable to speak in his own defense.
