Quick recap

1992. Scientists formerly employed by the US government are dying in suspicious circumstances. Defense department leaders mobilize a multi-agency task force, which includes the recently demoted Captain Jack Reacher. That is the official premise of the 2023 book, the second in the series' chronology; a more detailed summary was not verified.
