A book cover with the title of lee child 's jack reacher persuader.

Persuader, Lee Child, 2003

OMG! I’ve finished the 16th of 16 Reacher novels. Sad but true and this one, true to form, leads from coincidence (Reacher crosses paths outside Symphony Hall in Boston with a former crooked, murdering military intelligence officer who he thought he had killed ten years earlier, but no!) to beautiful women (a DEA agent this time) in an exotic locale (Coastal Maine). Silly but lots of dead bodies and a good resolution.
