Deep Cover Jack: Hunting Lee Child's Jack Reacher (The Hunt for Jack Reacher Series Book 8)

Otto and Gaspar are once again a few steps behind the 8 Ball on their quest to build a file on the ephemeral Jack Reacher. Once again, they are following in Jack's footsteps at the behest of their boss who points them in certain directions, mysteriously keeps track of their progress, but never gives them the whole story. That story, they are slowly piecing together by themselves, as they meet other people whose lives have intersected with Jack's, and been profoundly impacted by him, somewhere along the line. These stories are standalone, complete in and of themselves. If you've never read the Lee Child books, that's okay. You will still enjoy the main characters in the Capri books, and their hunt for their elusive quarry! If you "do know Jack," even better!

My opinion is my own.

Deep Cover Jack—Diane CapriDeep Cover Jack picks up FBI Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar’ assignment on the Special Personnel Task Force of vetting Jack Reacher for an unknown government mission. This is the 6th novel in the series, which spans real time, about at this point about eight weeks.When I have discussed these novels with friends, concerns regarding the ability of each novel to stand on its own AND the necessity of being even somewhat familiar with the parallel Reacher novel are expressed. Capri, who does have what seems to be a carte blanc from Childs to use his characters, is quite skillful in splicing sufficient details of her own Search for Reacher back story and the Reacher novel settings portrayed in the current Kim and Carlos episode that one does not NEED to have read either one. I think you will find, however, you will WANT to read both.In Deep Cover Jack, Otto and Gaspar become involved with a crew of former and current ATF/DEA agents, cops and assorted others with whom Reacher cooperated in an off-the books sting at an isolated Maine estate nearly a decade prior to the current action. One of the players then had gone over the edge in a private vendetta busting human traffickers and had been captured.One of the…well…good guys…had much information on Reacher; Otto and Gaspar, hungry for information, traded their help to the very off-the-books operation to retrieve their former comrade-in-arms from the estate.What, you thought I was going to give away the plot? Not likely. And here is why you should get this book…and all the Search for Reacher books RIGHT NOW!Diane Capri has several crime series out right now and is winning awards. She knows her craft…and she knows her art. The writing is crisp and she has a knack with dialogue…I am guessing she has been permitted to listen to cops, state and federal agents and members of the military (primarily Army) and has the short-hand language down; the conversations between equals has verisimilitude; the approaches used with civilians varies between gentle for information-gathering and pungent with suspects.Characters are well-formed. Kim Otto is a CPA and a lawyer, working out of the Detroit office, who thinks she WILL beDirector of the FBI, drinks coffee like Reacher but has acid production like a pickle factory; she has been through her grandmother’s final illness. We know she is deadly with her Glock. Carlos, senior to Otto, is second agent on this assignment—we haven’t yet been told. Ex-military (hints have been dropped he was an MP, same as Reacher), he was badly injured in in a shoot-out and for the most part had be riding a desk in the Miami office until this assignment. He’s married with a very pregnant wife, four daughters and pretty much lives in pain. Their boss has a name and their loyalty. One of the characters from the inaugural Reacher novel has risen to rather lofty heights and is called for help sometimes.The plot is solid and, in my opinion, piggy-backs on the Reacher arc in “Persuader” set in the same locale. Capri has the two FBI agents working with the prior crew with the essentially the same traction Reacher did…keep in mind that both Reacher worked with and the FBI team are working with essentially the same people for completely different objectives—perfect example of ends justifies the means.

This book is packed with drama and intrigue. The search for Reacher continues. A arms dealer who also engages in human trafficking has gathered buyers for a demonstration of his lastest powerful missile. Adventures and explosions are the normal. Who will survive?

I love Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books. He is one of the most unique, different characters yet totally believable. You get to know him thru his eyes.What Diane does is gives us, as readers, a totally different point of view. It’s almost shocking, seeing him from the outside. But the people who are looking for him are intrigued and find their assumptions challenged at every turn. And you are puzzled and intellectually challenged by the mysterious “Boss.”

Another gripping and intense novel by Diane Capri with Otto and Gaspar searching for the elusive JackReaper. Will Otto and Gaspar find him? If so, what will the relationship between Kim and Jack develop into?Each chapter brings forth more questions...what's coming next.Diane, you have an amazing way of arranging thoughts into words, words into sentences, sentences intoparagraphs, paragraphs into pages, pages into chapters, chapters into novels, and novels into so many hoursof very enjoyable reading.Diane is so gifted in knowing the subject matter of her novels and has a way that captivates your mind in herdescriptive pages from start to end.I Can't wait for the next book in this series.Mary A.

This is the closest that Otto and Gaspar have got to Reacher to date. It's still nowhere near him! Otto does learn more about him, but is it enough to find him. Does she want to ?

Another story of mystery intertwined with the Lee Child Reacher books, twisting storyline with interesting characters and plenty of intrigue. Bring on many more!

This book gripped me from the first page. There are plenty of twists and turns, with the first chapter setting a scene that you know has a core running through the entire story.The characters flowed from the pen and time of one writer to the present day of another flawlessly.A wonderfully entertaining read!

Brilliant from start to finish
