Editorial Review:
Jack Reacher, the taciturn ex-MP whose adventures in Lee Child's six previous solidly plotted, expertly paced thrillers have won a devoted fan base, returns in this explosive tale of an undercover operation set up by the FBI to rescue an agent investigating Zachary Beck, a reclusive tycoon believed to be a kingpin in the drug trade. The novel begins with a bang as Reacher rescues Beck's son from a staged kidnapping in order to get close to his father--and trace the connection between Beck and Quinn, a former army intelligence officer who tried to sell blueprints of a secret weapon to Iraq but was murdered before he could pull it off. Or so Reacher thinks, until he spots Quinn in the crowd at a concert in Boston. As usual, Child ratchets up the tension and keeps the reader in suspense until the last page, although his enigmatic hero hardly ever seems to break a sweat. In the tough guy tradition, Reacher and his creator are overdue for a breakout, and this muscular, well-written mystery might be the one. --Jane Adams
Jack Reacher.The ultimate loner.An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he’s moved from place to place…without family…without possessions…without commitments.And without fear. Which is good, because trouble—big, violent, complicated trouble—finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once…not ever.But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business.Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it…justice.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of the best Reacher novels.
Reacher ends up working for a likely drug importer for reasons of his own. The many plot twists/developments are unexpected, well done, and well placed--they are not there just for the sake of surprise. The baddest of the the bad guys are monsters, who may be too much even for Reacher. This is darker than the other Reacher novels, but I barely noticed because of its fast pacing and constant tension.
Rating: - efficient, quality service

I`m a huge Jack reacher fan and this is a good read. If you like Reacher books try the `Soft Target` Novels by Conrad Jones, same genre, very exciting.Real thrillers

Rating: - One of Lee Child's Best Reacher Novel
Heading to the beach? In need of some excellent entertainment? Persuader, by Lee Child, is just the ticket. While this isn't a recent Jack Reacher novel, it is one of Lee Child's best.
Child starts the novel with ex-Army MP, Jack Reacher, thwarting the kidnapping of 20-year old Richard Beck, son of powerful and affluent businessman Zachary Beck. The elder Beck has made his money importing Oriental rugs, but that might be all that is coming in with the shipments. It isn't until the end ... Read More
