Michael Ridpath recommends
The Beaten Track (2022)
Louise Mangos
"The reader watches, fascinated and repelled, as Sandrine makes her way around the world on a trip of a lifetime. Louise Mangos hooks us, then reels us in expertly towards an ending which we both dread and turn the pages furiously to reach. Great stuff."
The Stranger (2020)
(Jude Lyon, book 1)
Simon Conway
"All the ingredients of a classic spy thriller, expertly executed. Heart-pounding stuff."
The Fatherland Files (2019)
(Gereon Rath, book 4)
Volker Kutscher
"A mystery full of twists and surprises and a classic detective you will root for all the way to the last page. Masterful."
The Ego's Nest (2011)
(Dave Hart, book 5)
David Charters
"Dave Hart is one of the great comic creations of the twenty-first century."
