This is not only a great addition to the Jack Reacher novels but a superb book in its own right. Reacher, the ex-military cop turned loner, walks into more trouble as he goes undercover to help federal agents expose Beck, a supposed drug-dealer. Reacher also has a chance meeting with Quinn, a dark element from Reacher's past. After ingeniously getting himself employed by Beck, Reacher finds that everything is not what it seems. Is Quinn involved somehow? Persuader is dazzling. Told in first-person perspective, the blend of dialogue, atmosphere, action and plot will grip readers from the first page and will further cement Lee Child's reputation as a world-class thriller writer, even more so considering this is the seventh Jack Reacher novel. This is everything a thriller should be
