Use of first person
I don't understand the assertion that the use of first person perpective in Persuader is a device aimed at concealing the kidnap set-up. This is revealed as early as the second chapter anyway and, it seems to me, could have been done just as effectively in third person. It seems more likely that Lee Child wishes to continuously vary the style of the Reacher books, the plot of Persuader being designed to lend itself to the use of first person with Reacher working largely isolated and under cover.
