Lee Child recommends
 Forty Words for Sorrow (2000) (John Cardinal, book 1) Giles Blunt "Intensely vivid characters, terrible crimes and a brutal deep-frozen landscape ... Giles Blunt is a really tremendous crime novelist." |  Sleep with the Fishes (2001) Brian M Wiprud "If Carl Hiassen wrote for The Sopranos, it might be half as good as this... a page-turner that's part wicked humor and part just plain wicked." |  The Master of Rain (2002) Tom Bradby "Rich, dark, atmospheric, this fine novel captures time and place perfectly. A great crime story that ends up in a place you won't predict ... " |
 Scaredy Cat (2002) (Tom Thorne, book 2) Mark Billingham "Mark Billingham is the new-wave leader..." |  Cold Silence (2002) Danielle Girard "High speed, high stakes, high suspense." |  One Last Hit (2003) (Joe Portugal, book 3) Nathan Walpow "I thought it was extraordinary - just fabulous. Quite apart from the plot and characters it had a terrific emotional quotient which all of us boomers should be eating up. Required reading for the Reacher Creatures." |
 The Darkness Gathers (2003) (Lydia Strong, book 2) Lisa Miscione "One of my favorite new writers." |  Blood Is The Sky (2003) (Alex McKnight, book 5) Steve Hamilton "Everything is here - his trademark sense of place, vivid, resonant charcters, and a plot to break your heart." |  The Death You Deserve (2003) (Rawhead) David Bowker "A tough, fabulous, smart-mouth novel." |
 Judgment Calls (2003) (Samantha Kincaid, book 1) Alafair Burke "A terrific debut, very different from her famous father's work, but the storytelling DNA is all there. This is smart, savvy, expert - and highly recommended." |  Cold Case (2004) (Kate Gillespie, book 4) Robin Burcell "A very talented author." |  Last Seen in Aberdeen (2004) (Sergeant Mornay) M G Kincaid "Smart, edgy - close to perfect." |

Nails the period better than I have seen it done before." |  The Waking Nightmare (2005) (Diagnosis Murder, book 4) Lee Goldberg "Can books be better than television? You bet they can - when Lee Goldberg's writing them. Get aboard right now for a thrill ride." |  In the Company of Liars (2005) David Ellis "A highly intelligent thriller that burrows backward through time like Houdini explaining a trick. An automatic book-of-the-year." |
 Bitch Goddess Notebook (2005) Martha O'Connor "Astonishing... If this isn't Alice Sebold, Donna Tart or Barbara Vine writing under a pseudonym, the Martha O'Connor is a huge new talent." |  Bloody Mary (2005) (Jack Daniels, book 2) J A Konrath "Excellent smart-mouth thrills ... my advice: Take a long sip." |  Road Kill (2005) (Charlie Fox, book 5) Zoë Sharp "Highly recommended!" |
 A Field of Darkness (2006) (Madeline Dare, book 1) Cornelia Read "One of the best debuts I've ever seen." |  In Plain Sight (2006) (Joe Pickett, book 6) C J Box "One of today's solid-gold A-list must-read writers." |  The Last Spymaster (2006) Gayle Lynds "Today's finest espionage writer unleashes an instant classic." |
 Guns (2006) (John Hardin, book 1) Phil Bowie "Fast, engaging - a fine debut." |  Billy Boyle (2006) (Billy Boyle World War II Mystery, book 1) James R Benn "This book has got it all-an instant classic." |  Checkmate (2007) (Cameron Talbot, book 1) Karna Small Bodman "Gripping and authentic." |
 Where the Dead Lay (2009) (Frank Behr, book 2) David Levien "The new must-read thriller writer." |  The Breach (2009) (Travis Chase, book 1) Patrick Lee "Audacious and terrifying, uncannily believable." |  Fourth Day (2010) (Charlie Fox, book 8) Zoë Sharp "Scarily good." |
 Jackpot (2010) (Tony Valentine, book 8) James Swain "Top class suspense... one of my favourite series." |  The Last King of Brighton (2011) (Brighton Trilogy, book 2) Peter Guttridge "I don't need the competition, but honesty demands I confess - this is a great thriller." |  Act of Treason (2011) (Sniper, book 4) Jack Coughlin and Donald A Davis "Stunning action, excellent tradecraft... just about perfect." |
 Games Traitors Play (2011) (Daniel Marchant, book 2) Jon Stock "Exactly what we need from a spy novel now." |  Thick as Thieves (2011) Peter Spiegelman "Slick, sophisticated, and satisfying... this is thriller fiction at its best." |  The Pack (2011) (Pack , book 1) Jason Starr "Jason Starr is hypnotically good." |

Highly recommended." |  The Professionals (2012) (Stevens and Windermere, book 1) Owen Laukkanen "Really terrific - characters that live and breathe, and chills aplenty." |  Sailor (2012) Tom Epperson "Simply a great thriller - full of action but about people, tough but not bleak, fast and yet thoughtful. Highly recommended." |
 Don't Know Jack (2012) (Hunt For Reacher, book 1) Diane Capri "Full of thrills and tension, but smart and human, too." |  The Killing House (2012) (Malcolm Fletcher, book 1) Chris Mooney "Scary voice, scary talent. Mooney is one of the best thriller writers working today." |  No Way Back (2013) Matthew Klein "He's the real thing. One hell of a writer." |
