In a small Indiana city, a lone gunman in a parking garage calmly fires into a rush-hour crowd in a public plaza, committing a massacre of five apparently random victims with six shots. The shooter leaves a perfect trail behind for the police to quickly track him down. Evidence from the scene, of a shell case and a quarter bearing the same fingerprints, points clearly to James Barr Jack Reacher (One Shot), a former Army infantry sniper. He is arrested, but will only say two things to the police: "They got the wrong guy," and "Get Jack Reacher for me. Reacher has no job, Jack Reacher (One Shot) home, no car, and a shrinking savings account from his past military pay. Although Reacher has a nomadic existence, what he does have is sharp moral clarity. Instead of clearing Barr, Reacher wants to assist the prosecution in convicting him. Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see for good reason. When Reacher was an investigating military policeman years past, Barr Jack Reacher (One Shot) gone on a killing spree similar to the Indiana shootout, murdering four men during the Gulf War in Kuwait City. Convoluted Jack Reacher (One Shot) politics and a technicality let Barr walk free. Reacher swore he would track the sniper down if he ever tried it again. Reacher believes Barr is guilty, but Barr's sister Rosemary is convinced of her brother's innocence and entreats lawyer Helen Rodin to defend her brother. Helen's father Alex is the district attorney who will prosecute the case. When Reacher arrives in Indiana, Barr has been beaten so badly while in Jack Reacher (One Shot) that he cannot remember anything about the day of the murders, leaving Reacher to form his own conclusions with the available evidence. Reacher knows that 35 yards, the parking garage shooting distance to the victims, is point-blank range for a trained military sniper like Barr. Reacher also knows the shooter missed one shot on purpose, giving Reacher one shot at the truth. Reacher drives to Kentucky to the shooting range where the sniper practiced and learns some interesting facts from former Marine Gunnery Sergeant Samuel Cashwho owns the shooting range, which make him doubt the solidity of the presumably airtight case against Barr. Cash is unwilling to reveal information or his records to Reacher, but grudgingly agrees to talk if Jack Reacher (One Shot) is able to hit a paper target dead center at yards with one shot. After he succeeds, Reacher is shown 32 sheets of target paper from three years' worth of Barr's practice shootings at his range, every single sheet with dead-on maximum scores. Reacher, given his expertise with firearms and experience as a military investigator, Jack Reacher (One Shot) deduces that the target sheets were faked by using a handgun at point blank range. After the visit to the shooting range, Reacher adds Cash's information to the case evidence. Helen and Rosemary sift through the clues in a riveting analysis and finally get Reacher to conclude that Barr is innocent, Jack Reacher (One Shot) means someone set up Barr as the sniper. Someone is also trying to get Reacher off the case, which formerly seemed a slam-dunk, but is now falling apart. Reacher is teamed with Helen, working against a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Reacher gets closer to the unseen enemy pulling the strings, leading him to the real perpetrators, a Russian gang masquerading as legitimate businessmen. The gang's year-old capo spent much of his life in one of the infamous Soviet gulags Jack Reacher (One Shot) is known only as The Zec prisoner. Reacher outwits the mob guards in the Russian gang's fortress, efficiently and brutally dispatching five hoods before confronting the boss and forcing him to come clean on the conspiracy from beginning to end: covering up the murder of the one victim he wants dead with the other four victims. The real killer is shot, the Zec chooses to confess to the authorities who arrive on the scene, Barr goes free, Jack Reacher (One Shot) Reacher moves on. Sign In Don't have an account? Start a Wiki.

What you get instead is a good dollop of wish-fulfilment, good writing, beautiful, intelligent and feisty females who are either integral to the development of the plot or just along for the ride, and implausible story lines! One shot is no exception — why change a winning formula? In Reacher, Child has created a character who is, perhaps, not quite the guy Nobody should pick up a Jack Reacher novel and expect great literature. In Reacher, Child has created a character who is, perhaps, not quite the guy who every other guy wants to be and with whom every woman wants to be? In a genre full of world weary, divorced, alcoholic, guilt ridden cops Reacher is a breath of fresh air — the Jack Reacher (One Shot) thing to Casey Ryback outside of Jack Reacher (One Shot) movies!
