Persuader: (Jack Reacher 7)

Product Information

Jack Reacher is working unofficially with the Drug Enforcement Administration to bring down Zachary Beck, suspected of smuggling drugs under the pretext of trading in rugs, and safely retrieve an undercover DEA agent. Reacher refuses to step back as his primary motivation in getting involved at all in this off-the-books operation is to have another go at Francis Xavier Quinn, a former Military Intelligence agent who, ten years before, had brutally mutilated and murdered Reacher's colleague Dominique Kohl.

I highly recommend them to readers who enjoy a good mystery, little or a lot sometimes of sex thrown in.It also begins with Reacher doing something that shocks us: readers are used to how he deals with the bad guys, and they all deserve it, but here, aside from taking out some bad guys he takes another shot which we normally wouldn't expect him to. There he will find a world of secrecy and violence—and confront some unfinished business from his own past. Much to his surprise, shortly after his arrival, he is arrested in a local diner for murder, simply for being a random transient.

Persuader by Lee Child Detailed Review Summary of Persuader by Lee Child

Some of the acclaim attached to this book includes USA today who stated the “indomitable Reacher burns up the pages. It’s not like you’ll skip ahead and find Reacher married with three kids and wonder how he got there.

What makes the novel really zing, though, is Reacher's narration -- a unique mix of the brainy and the brutal, of strategic thinking and explosive action, moral rumination and ruthless force, marking him as one of the most memorable heroes in contemporary thrillerdom. Reacher must determine whether the killer is local, or from nearby Fort Kelham, a large base used by elite Army Rangers. This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one.

Centered around a sleepy town in Georgia, Reacher finds himself accused of murder in a place he’s never visited before.I’m pretty adept at “willing suspension of disbelief”, but it is too far a stretch to believe Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. I am disappointed in this new behavior, I look to my fiction to step away from reality and not have someone’s manicured political leanings interrupt the story line. However, in the books Jack Reacher is described as blond, 6-feet-5-inches, and weighing more than 250 pounds. Jack Reacher is still in the army, and there is big trouble in a small town in Mississippi, where a soldier's girlfriend is found with her throat cut from ear to ear.

The DEA, on finding that they were mistaken about the nature of the business Zachary was involved in (it is gun-running, not drugs), tries to pull Reacher out.

Patrick Anderson of The Washington Post described it as "a skillful blend of sex, violence, sadism, weaponry, spies, smuggling, revenge, deception, suspense and nonstop action", though he also notes that the novel has "several premises that are hard to swallow". He is puzzled with her choice of timing and place, as it is not crowded; on the contrary the subway was exceedingly empty.
