In a tiny Colorado town, Reacher spots a murder that looked like a suicide.  That sends him on the case. Most of the people that get in the way or come after him are just put out of commission but several also die. The ex-wife of another victim helps him out and they drive across the country to a prison in Mississippi small town. Uncover a body part side business - their very progressive prison has a high mortality rate.  The first victim had spotted irregularities in the accounting when they also were going to use freeing an innocent man as cover to give one of their buddies a new identity.  Reacher gets there just in time to save the real innocent man and breaks him out of prison and he gets reunited with the son he never knew he had that had just escaped his foster home and traveled across the country to be there for the release.  Reacher of course makes some brilliant deductions with little evidence along the way. He also finds creative ways to get rid of the cronies that are trying to stop him from getting to the prison. But wait there is more, a whole subplot where a professional arsonist is after the body part sellers because his son died after a liver transplant (because of too many drugs by the time he was 22). And the good guys all live happily ever after and Reacher heads off into the sunset....
