Thomas Perry recommends
Flash Flood (2002)
(Dan Mahoney, book 1)
Susan Slater
"A thriller with lots of Southwestern atmosphere and a puzzler of a plot that's calculated to keep a reader guessing through the last chapter."
Quiver (2008)
Peter Leonard
"Peter Leonard has a good ear for voices, a good eye for detail, and a talent for bringing together elements that can't do anything but explode."
Siren of the Waters (2008)

Darwin's Nightmare (2008)
(Wilson, book 1)
Mike Knowles
"An angry charge into a bloody underworld free-for-all where a fighter's survival is earned by what he'll do after the bullet hits him. Mike Knowles is a strong new voice in crime fiction."
Swap (2009)
John McFetridge
