Brad Thor recommends

The Midnight Knock (2025)
John Fram
"David Lynch meets Agatha Christie in this razor-sharp, nightmare of a thriller. John Fram delivers a diabolically smart, high-stakes puzzle wrapped in dread and accompanied by a ticking clock that ratchets the tension to unbearable levels! It's creepy, clever, and cinematic as hell. Hollywood won't be far behind."

Chameleon (2023)
(Black Box Ops, book 1)
Remi Adeleke
"A kickass, bone crusher of a thriller. Like watching a high-end action movie play out on the page. Remi Adeleke really knows his stuff!"
thumb
The Quiet Tenant (2023)
Clémence Michallon
"The Quiet Tenant is an absolutely brilliant, incredibly delicious, edge-of-your-set thriller. Imagine Jodi Picoult meets Jeffery Deaver and then watch as Clemence Michallon exceeds every one of your expectations. She's that good. The book is that good. And the ending is a killer!"
