Fair use rationale for Image:Persuader book.jpg

Image:Persuader book.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

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.
