Persuader (Jack Reacher, #7)

Jack Reacher is often found minding his own business when something happens right in front of him that propels him into another mission. In this case, he's walking down a street in Boston when he sees a dead man--or at least a man who is supposed to have been dead for ten years. And if anyone should know that the guy is supposed to be dead, it's Reacher.
The man in question, a particularly nasty character named Quinn, had crossed paths with Reacher back when Reacher was still in the army. Reacher supervised an investigation of Quinn which went horribly wrong and left Reacher with some deep emotional scars. To see Quinn now, obviously alive, stuns Reacher and he now feels obligated to clean up some unfinished business.
It's otherwise somewhat difficult to review this book, or even to describe the setup, without giving away something that occurs early on and that readers would be best left to discover for themselves. Suffice it to say that, like most of the books in this series, the action is hard-hitting and Reacher will literally be pushed to his limits before all is said and done. The setting is particularly good; the villains are particularly villainous, and all-in-all, this was a great book to reread while in social isolation.
