Ed Gorman recommends

Hour of the Cat (1980)
Gene DeWeese
"DeWeese is one of those real pros whose praises are to seldom sung."

Dragon's Jaw (1989)
(Vietnam Ground Zero, book 16)
Eric Helm
"Some of the most riveting war fiction written..."

Moonbane (1989)
Al Sarrantonio
"A novel with real style, informed by a wry and sometimes chilling point of view. Moonbane is not quite like anything you've read before!"

Desert Fire (1993)
David Hagberg
"Hagberg takes his rightful place among such masters as Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler."

Bad Karma (1997)
(Criminally Insane, book 1)
Andrew Harper (Douglas Clegg)
"Take a mental hospital, a weary psychiatrist suffering from nightmares he doesn't understand, and a killer as chilling as they come, and you've got a sleek, smooth, and constantly surprising page-turner. Reminds me of a very hip Robert Bloch. Some exceptionally nice work here."

Drawn to the Grave (1997)
Mary Ann Mitchell
"A tight, taut, dark fantasy with surprising plot twists and a lot of spooky atmosphere. Mary Ann Mitchell is definitely somebody to watch!"

The Double Life (2006)
(Diagnosis Murder, book 7)
Lee Goldberg
"[Lee Goldberg] can plot and write with the best of them."

The Silence (2014)
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
"Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and style."

Sex, Death, & Honey (2018)
(Misadventures of Butch Quick, book 1)
Brian Knight
"I will now make sure to read everything else Brian knight publishes."
