George Pelecanos recommends
 Sleepy Head (2001) (Tom Thorne, book 1) Mark Billingham "Sleepyhead is one of the finest first-novels I've read in a long while. Mark Billingham has brought a rare and welcome blend of humanity, dimension, and excitement to the genre and earned an instant seat at the top table of crime novelists. An exceptional debut." |  In a True Light (2001) John Harvey "John Harvey's books are cool, deceptive, seamless, and artfully constructed." |  Sky Blues (2002) Vicki Hendricks "Supercharged, erotic, real noir... Sky Blues is another Hendricks triumph." | |
 Nineteen Eighty Three (2002) (Red Riding Quartet, book 4) David Peace "David Peace has joined a select group of novelists who are transforming the crime genre with passion and style." |  Semiautomatic (2004) (Andrew Giobberti, book 2) Robert Reuland "One of crime fiction's most gifted young writers." |  Rain Dogs (2005) Sean Doolittle "Sean Doolittle is a young writer with serious chops. With RAIN DOGS he brings it strong." | |
 Priest (2006) (Jack Taylor, book 5) Ken Bruen "Ken Bruen has become the crime novelist to read." |  The Dark Streets (2006) (Jack Liffey, book 9) John Shannon "Shannon has written an intelligent, surprising book, found the heart of his working-class characters, and delivered a first-rate thriller in the bargain." |  Cruel Poetry (2007) Vicki Hendricks "I never miss a book by Vicki Hendricks. No one on the current scene is writing super-charged, erotic, real noir novels like these." | |
 American Visa (2007) Juan de Recacoechea "Beautifully written, atmospheric, and stylish in the manner of Chandler... A smart, exotic crime fiction offering." |  Quiver (2008) Peter Leonard "Quiver's supercharged plot, rhythmic dialogue, and cool-under-pressure characters kept me reading into the night. An impressive, exciting debut from Peter Leonard." |  Winterland (2009) (Loose trilogy, book 1) Alan Glynn "A terrific read... completely involving." | |
 Drink the Tea (2010) (Willis Gidney Mystery, book 1) Thomas Kaufman "Thomas Kaufman is a welcome new voice in Washington, D.C. crime fiction." |  Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (2010) Tom Franklin "A highly original crime offering." |
