Publisher Description
“Gripping and suspenseful . . . Child ratchets up the suspense to new heights.”—The Denver Post 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 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. #7 in the Jack Reacher series Praise for Persuader “A page-turner . . . [Lee] Child’s tale drives hard and fast.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “Wickedly addictive . . . so fast-paced it makes the eyeballs spin.”—Orlando Sentinel “A story that will sweep you along as fast as some of the riptides Reacher survives.”—St. Petersburg Times

"This is the first Reacher book since the very first book in the series that is told in the first person. There are few changes that make this book stand out from the rest but mostly they are superficial. The main baddie in this book is someone from Reacher's past, and the first one he hated going into. Most books he grows to the realization that he is going to kill the bad guy, but here he starts out from that point of view. One thing I really liked about the book is it had that isolation feel that my favorite book in the series had, Die Trying. Mostly set on a deserted coast of Maine. The book has trippy begining that will leave Reacher fans wondering what the hell is going on. But this is still a great action packed book for fans of action movies. It does stand out from the series as a whole, but not signifigantly."

" I loved the last book so my hopes were huge for this one but I was dissapointed. The story is rather basic and the characters surrounding Reacher are for the most part pretty boring even the villain doesnt do much for the excitement. Its a huge dissapointment and I am hoping for better in the future "

" I love the Jack Reacher novels. It's great how he seems super-human half the time, and it getting his butt kicked like a normal person the other half. "
— Gini, 5/13/2011 -
" I stopped reading Reacher books after a while because they got a bit stupid. This one is much better and back to the old fast paced tense action. "

" This Jack Reacher takes place in New England...always fun to read about the characters doing their thing in places I have done my thing. Page burner as usual. "

" This was my first Lee Child read. I think I have discovered another favorite author. A fast paced thriller which I found hard to put down...very similar to James Patterson. I'm adding other Lee Child novels to my wish list. "
— Debbie, 2/17/2011 -
" Once again he is dragged to help a governmnet agency... and additionally this books links some of the previous books... so for those of us that have read all the previous books it gives you a feel of knowing the character and how he will react... or why he does certain things... "
