Lee Goldberg recommends

Hunt Them Down (2019)
(Pierce Hunt, book 1)
Simon Gervais
"Your hunt for the next great adventure novel is over. If Jack Reacher started writing thrillers, he’d be Simon Gervais."

Dead Girl Blues (2020)
Lawrence Block
"DEAD GIRL BLUES will surely offend some readers, but I loved it. It's wonderfully written and the voice is pitch-perfect, comfortable and unsettling at the same time. The book reminded me, in a very good way, of Charles Willeford's early work (and, in particular, of his unpublished MIAMI BLUES sequel GRIMHAVEN). If you are into dark noir, this book is for you."

The Ruthless (2021)
(Bruno Johnson, book 8)
David Putnam
"Sizzling with realism, sharp dialogue, and pulse-pounding action."

The Shadow Box (2021)
Luanne Rice
"Every family has secrets, but in Luanne Rice’s clever thriller, The Shadow Box, the truth won’t set you freeit will put you in a shallow grave particularly if you live in the posh Connecticut enclave of Catamount Bluffs, where corruption, kidnapping, and murder are only a few of the community’s hidden sins."

A Fire in the Night (2021)
Christopher Swann
"I don't know how Swann did it -- he's written a mesmerizing book that's literary fiction, a spy novel, and a relentless thriller all in one."
