Ann Rule recommends
Along Came a Spider (1993)
(Alex Cross, book 1)
James Patterson
"Along Came a Spider is the rarity--a psychological thriller that truly breaks new ground as James Patterson brilliantly explores dark crevices of the aberrant mind. Detective Alex Cross is real and fascinating! When can I meet Cross again? Soon. I hope. Spider is a sure winner; Cross is the fictional detective of the nineties!"
The Piano Teacher (1994)
Peter S Greenberg and Robert K Tanenbaum
"Fascinating, chilling... a must read!"
Ordeal (1997)
Deanie Francis Mills
"Gripping and compelling. A searing thriller as current as tomorrow's headlines."
Second Watch (2003)
(Seattle trilogy, book 2)
Lowen Clausen
