Martin Cruz Smith recommends
thumb
The Secret Hours (2023)
Mick Herron
"A deft knockout of a story, with an arc of history, written with humor and style. Mick Herron is one of the best writers of spy fiction working today."
thumb
The Siberia Job (2023)
Josh Haven
"A terrific post-Soviet thriller, distinguished by its portrayal of the wild potential of 1990s Russia and the subversion of that potential into pure corruption, the consequences of which continue to reverberate in the present day."
thumb
The Bequest (2022)
Joanna Margaret
"A first rate mystery by a first time author. Intriguing plot and well drawn characters."
