Jack Reacher is back - in his most explosive adventure yet. Coming soon to Amazon Prime Video.

"Ballsy, dynamic and not for the faint-hearted." (Daily Mail)

Never forgive, never forget.

Jack Reacher lives for the moment. Without a home. Without commitment. But he has a burning desire to right wrongs - and rewrite his own agonizing past.

Never apologize. Never explain.

When Reacher witnesses a brutal kidnap attempt, he takes the law into his own hands. But a cop dies. Has Reacher lost his sense of right and wrong?

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Persuader is seventh in the series.

And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no. 29, In Too Deep! OUT NOW
