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."
A French Country Murder (2003)
(Louis Morgon Mysteries, book 1)
Peter Steiner
"A beautiful crime novel."
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)
(Jana Matinova, book 1)
Michael Genelin
"A terrific novel by a man who knows crime, knows Europe, and knows how to write. Siren of the Waters is a genuine pleasure."
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
"McFetridge shows he can handle the timing, ambiguity, and multiple points of view that give a story the complexity of real life."
Koreatown Blues (2016)
Mark Rogers
"Koreatown Blues is a refreshing, lively novel that holds out hope that sometimes, if you're a decent guy, people will help you find original solutions to some very grim problems."
The Prometheus Man (2017)
(Prometheus Man, book 1)
Scott Reardon
"The Prometheus Man is a bullet-paced thriller that provokes fear, anger, and sympathy simultaneously, and makes us hope the world never lets this particular fiction turn into reality."
The Chalk Man (2018)
C J Tudor
"The Chalk Man is an intricate and surprising book that will reward the reader who approaches it with the attention it deserves."
