Jack Reacher: Without Fail

Protecting the fourth most guarded person on this planet from assassination isn't difficult. It's practically impossible. In short, a job for Reacher!

Five years after leaving the army, former Major Jack Reacher, a recipient of the Silver Star and the Purple Heart, is a homeless drifter with no permanent job. But for a man of his abilities, someone always has a use. For example, M.E. Froelich, the former girlfriend of Reacher's deceased brother Joe, who now works for the United States Secret Service. She hires him to prevent an announced attack on the American Vice President. The renowned lone wolf takes his task seriously, calling in security expert Frances Neagley, who served with him in the military police. However, their final verdict doesn't please Froelich or her superior, Stuyvesant: eliminating the threat of a successful assassination is virtually impossible if its architect has sufficient experience, resources, and determination. Nevertheless, they must try, as threatening letters are piling up, and Vice President-elect Brook Armstrong, a charismatic young senator from North Dakota, immediately wins their sympathy. Will they uncover the assassins before they carry out their diabolical plan?
The sixth case for the wandering protector of justice with a big heart and even bigger muscles takes him to Washington, D.C., where the former military policeman, after a long time, once again experiences the advantages and pitfalls of teamwork in government service.
