Persuader (Jack Reacher, No. 7) Review
Child's Jack Reacher is something of a mystery man but one can't help having a certain appreciation for the simplicity of his lifestyle. The bare basics of only a toothbrush makes those of us with way too much, look like fools and thus has a certain pull on me. He is an elequent "Man's Man" and "Ladies" man deeply rooted within espionage.
Persuader (Jack Reacher, No. 7) Overview
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.
Persuader (Jack Reacher, No. 7) Specifications
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
