John Sandford recommends

The Unwilling (2021)
John Hart
"John Hart writes about violence with frightening passion and vivid description. At the same time he masterfully lets you see inside a powerful family dynamic. His villain will be in anyone’s top 2."

High White Sun (2018)
(Sheriff Chris Cherry, book 2)
J Todd Scott
"The best cop novel I've read in years."

The Darkness of Evil (2017)
(Karen Vail, book 7)
Alan Jacobson
"Like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Jacobson lays bare the Malevolence that lurks in the human heart. An impressive read."

IQ (2016)
(IQ, book 1)
Joe Ide
"Joe Ide is the best new writer I've encountered in recent years. IQ is a terrific book with an unexpected story, whose lead character has great potential for a series."

The Watcher in the Wall (2016)
(Stevens and Windermere, book 5)
Owen Laukkanen
"Laukkanen is slam-bang brilliant."

The Ways of the Dead (2014)
(Sully Carter, book 1)
Neely Tucker
"Tough, exciting, always intelligent, Neely Tucker's "The Ways of the Dead" captures the multi-layered corruption and cynicism--and the edge-of-the-ledge danger--of a hard-nosed former war reporter digging out a serial killer in the backstreets of Washington, D.C."
