Five Great Thrillers

"Blood Hunt" by Ian Rankin: Ex-SAS Gordon Reeve is on his way to his brother's funeral, but when he arrives nobody wants to answer his questions.

It isn't in his nature to let questions go unanswered, particularly when the murderers come knocking on his own front door. "The Interrogation" by Thomas H. Cook: a woman has been accused of a terrible crime. There's no witness, no evidence, but the police are convinced he's guilty.

They have twelve hours to find out the truth... "The Road to Gandolfo" by Robert Ludlum: Military legend General MacKenzie Hawkins is a rogue and a hero.

Ex-Harvard lawyer Sam Devereaux can't wait to leave the army.

The Hawk has been kicked out of the army and plans to get a dollar from every Catholic in the world - by kidnapping the Pope... "Hell to Pay" by George P. Pelecanos: Private investigators Derek Strange and Terry Quinn are used to the darker side of Washington, but when a victim is shot down by bullets meant for another, Strange's grief is all-consumming.

He swears to destroy the killers - whatever the cost. "Sunset Express" by Robert Crais: Elvis Cole has been hired by the hot-shot defence lawyer in a high profile murder case. Elvis needs to find proof that the detective has planted the evidence, but he begins to get more suspicious of the media-loving lawyers than the cops, and is soon sucked into the intrigue and dangers surrounding the case of the missing woman.
