Jack Reacher poikkeaa puoliaution kyläpahasen baariin Nebraskassa. Baarissa istuu alkoholisoitunut lääkäri, jolle tulee puhelu - avunpyyntö tutulta naiselta, jolla on "nenänverenvuoto", eikä suinkaan ensimmäistä kertaa. Reacher ei aio katsoa vierestä, kun ilmiselvään pahoinpitelyyn ei haluta puuttua. Taustalta paljastuu vähitellen ruma ja yllättävän laaja kuvio, joka juontaa juurensa kuoliaaksi vaiettuun tapaukseen: 8-vuotiaan tytön katoamiseen kaksikymmentä vuotta sitten.
