Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. And with a burning desire to right wrongs—and rewrite his own agonizing past. DEA agent Susan Duffy is living for the future, knowing that she has made a terrible mistake by putting one of her own female agents into a death trap within a heavily guarded Maine mansion.

Staging a brilliant ruse, Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise. Trying to rescue an agent whose time is running out, Reacher enters a crime lord’s waterfront fortress. There he will find a world of secrecy and violence—and confront some unfinished business from his own past.

Review:
Breakneck in its pace, uncompromising in its narrative ruthlessness, Persuader is typical of Lee Child's Jack Reacher adventures. After a first chapter that misdirects the reader quite staggeringly, ex-army freelance adventurer Reacher is apparently on the run. As always with Child and Reacher, what we see at first is only a small part of the complex plotting lying underneath. Reacher has his own reasons for taking on this case, reasons that are very personal and go back a decade. Being Reacher, tough with a heart of gold, his emotions--his liking for a drug dealer's wife and son, his more than professional interest in the DEA officer investigating them, his dislike of steroid-crazed thug Paulie--soon complicate his objectives. Childs is endlessly reliable on gadgets--the miniaturised e-mail senders, the big guns--and on action sequences--various fights and a swim in a riptide; he also makes us believe in complex emotions and deeper feelings than a love of violence. This is not one of the best of the Reacher books--it has too many flashbacks and a shadowy villain--but like all of them it is an action thriller for intelligent readers. --Roz Kaveney
Review:
'Child has a razor-sharp style and crafted seven perfect thrillers ... Think Die Hard without the smirk.' -- Playboy

'Jack Reacher is a seriously tough but unbendingly moral loner, a taciturn modern-day Galahad who attracts violence like a magnet ... violent and exciting.' -- Irish Independent

'One of the best writers in this genre ... His hero, Jack Reacher, is in top form.' -- The Sunday Telegraph

'Reacher has no doubts about his objective: to rid the world of the bad guys. And nobody does it better.' -- The Sunday Telegraph

'The seventh novel in the best-selling Jack Reacher series. PERSUADER is another gripping thriller.' -- OK! Magazine

'Unputdownable ... irrepressible characters, all-absorbing plots ... it's ass-kicking crime writing at its most thrilling, uncompromising best.' -- Daily Record

'Very tense ... real urgency ... a scrupulously structured thriller ... a thrilling and reputable read.' -- Literary Review

'Will grip readers from the first page and will further cement Lee Child's reputation as a world-class thriller writer.' -- Crime Time

'With a huge body count, PERSUADER is ballsy, dynamic and not for the faint-hearted.' -- Daily Mirror
