Reacher refuses to step back as his primary motivation in getting involved at all in this off-the-books operation is to have another go at Francis Xavier Quinn, a former Military Intelligence agent who, ten years before, had brutally mutilated and murdered a female military colleague of Reacher's, Dominique Kohl. The DEA, on finding that they were mistaken about the nature of the business Zachary was involved in, tries to pull Reacher out. The house maid, too, turns out to be a federal agent trying to find evidence of arms smuggling against Zachary. During this time he figures out that he was not the only undercover agent appointed to keep track of Zachary Beck. While working undercover he regrettably has to eliminate a few of Beck's minions to prevent them from exposing him. Reacher gains access to Beck and gradually gains his confidence by working as a hired gun/bodyguard. A frightened Richard places his trust in Reacher and asks him to take him back home. They stage a kidnap effort on Zachary's son, Richard Beck. Jack Reacher is working unofficially with the DEA to bring down a boy's father, Zachary Beck, who is suspected of smuggling drugs under the pretext of trading in oriental carpets. Persuader is the seventh book in the Jack Reacher series written by Lee Child.
