After Helen reports her findings about the victims to Reacher, he suggests that the owner of a local construction company was the intended victim, while the other victims served as a cover-up.

Reacher agrees to investigate if Helen visits the victims' families to learn about the people murdered that day. Reacher vowed that if Barr tried anything like this again, he would take him down. He reveals that Barr had gone on a killing spree during his tour in Iraq but was not prosecuted because, unbeknownst to Barr, his victims were under investigation for numerous assaults and the US Army wanted them forgotten. Helen tells Reacher he can see the evidence if he will be her investigator, but Reacher retorts that he is not interested in clearing Barr's name. Reacher meets Barr's defense attorney, Helen Rodin, the District Attorney's daughter, who has been saddled with the apparently hopeless task of saving Barr from the death penalty. Emerson and Rodin deny Reacher's request to view the evidence but agree to let him see Barr, who was attacked by fellow inmates and is now in a coma. He arrives in Pittsburgh after seeing a news report about Barr and the shooting. Reacher is a drifter and former US Army Military Police officer. They are bewildered when Barr instead takes a notepad and writes "Get Jack Reacher".
