Ken Bruen recommends
 The Trojan Dog (1999) Dorothy Johnston "The investigator, a mother with all the burdens of modern life, is a terrific creation and achingly real." |  End of the Line (2003) (Emma Boylan Murder Mystery, book 4) K T McCaffrey "K T McCaffrey writes like a dream: elegant and witty, but with a heart of coldest steel." |  Immoral (2005) (Jonathan Stride, book 1) Brian Freeman "One hell of a read, gut-wrenching and exciting." | |
 Escape Clause (2006) (Bill Tasker, book 3) James O Born "James O. Born is the future of crime fiction." |  City for Ransom (2006) (Alastair Ransom, book 1) Robert W Walker "It's the best pairing of a fictional couple in recent memory. Walker takes Caleb Carr territory to a new level. I read it in one sitting. Ransom your soul for this one." |  The Follower (2007) Jason Starr "The Follower does for dating what Jaws did for swimming." | |
 The Fourth Victim (2008) (Joe Serpe Mystery, book 3) Tony Spinosa "Classic... I was kept on me guessing toes all the way through. Terrific to have Serpe and Healy back in their uneasy alliance." |  The Good Son (2008) (J McNee, book 1) Russel D McLean "McLean has all the merits of this brilliant writer [Jean-Patrick Manchette] with the added bonus of a Scottish sense of wit that is like no other." |  Paying for It (2008) (Gus Dury, book 1) Tony Black "One adrenalin-pumped novel... the narrative blasts off the page like a triple malt." | |
 Small Crimes (2008) Dave Zeltserman "Unputdownable. Classic noir, dark, funny, shocking and absolutely no compromise. Pure magic of the blackest kind." |  Print the Legend (2010) (Hector Lassiter , book 3) Craig McDonald "Print the Legend is a landmark book. Lassiter for me is the Flashman/Zelig of the new era, but with a ferocious literary knowledge that is worn so lightly. A book beyond genre, stunning." |
