It`s the start of a new term at Miss Cackle`s Academy for Witches and Mildred Hubble is determined not to be the worst witch this year. Everything starts so well.

To top it all, her beloved cat Tabby is having a nervous breakdown and refuses to fly.

There`s deadly trouble in the corn country of and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it`s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can`t let go. The Duncans want Reacher gone - and it`s not just past secrets they`re trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they`re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that`s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.

There are no bodies, and no such plane has ever been reported missing, but men both good and evil have been seeking it for a long, long time.

The race to secure the prize draws in private detective Charlie Parker, a man who knows more than most about the nature of the terrible evil that seeks to impose itself on...
