Ed McBain recommends
 Pale Gray for Guilt (1968) (Travis McGee, book 9) John D MacDonald "...what a joy that these timeless and treasured novels are available again." |  Uncivil Seasons (1983) (Savile and Mangum, book 1) Michael Malone "Two of the most memorable police detectives to appear in mystery fiction." |  Along Came a Spider (1992) (Alex Cross, book 1) James Patterson "All at once comes Along Came a Spider, with terror and suspense that graps the reader and won't let go. Just try running away from this one." | |
 Hard Currency (1995) (Inspector Rostnikov, book 9) Stuart M Kaminsky "Kaminski gets Russia right, and Cuba right, but best of all he gets his superb cop Rostnikov altogether right yet another time. Bravo!" |  The Shattered Blue Line (2005) Patrick A Davis "More twists and turns than an aerial stunt show... A gripping military thriller." |
