Rock Wahlman...
United States Navy Master at Arms, E-8, retired. Three and a half years have passed since he discovered that he is the product of a human cloning experiment, an exact genetic duplicate of a former Army officer named Jack Reacher.
Once a fugitive from justice-and a target for multiple hired assassins-Wahlman has settled into a new career as a private investigator. He has a wife named Kasey to come home to at night, a stepdaughter named Natalie starting college, and a cat named Alice who's a little too clever for her own good.
In short, Rock Wahlman is a happy man.
But when a celebrity lookalike shows up at his office with a stalking complaint, things start going wrong in a hurry.
Because Wahlman ends up passing on the case...
And the young lady ends up dead...
And the movie star-the one she bore a striking resemblance to-just happens to be in town for a horse race.
