... cartel. He's a most unpleasant character, small in stature but with thoughts of grandeur that sometimes belie his intelligence. Plato isn't above torturing and killing if he has to and he bleeds dry all those he has dealings with.
Plato could easily have been turned into a caricature by Child like so many Mexican drug lords are but he manages to avoid this. His balancing of this 4' 11" man with his big attitude is done so it doesn't become a comedy character.

'61 Hours' is the 14th outing for Jack Reacher, the roaming ex-Military Policeman brought to life by author Lee Child. It was with little enthusiasm that I picked this up, the stories have been on a downward trend since 'One Shot', the 9th book, with the last three being particularly poor.
