An extra treat for the reader is being able to follow the case from the dual perspectives of the prosecution and the defense. As a career cop, Bosch is well versed in the professional tactics of a police investigation…But Haller's vocational talents, being on the shady side, are more like the sleight-of-hand tricks of a con man, and once in a courtroom he suddenly acquires the skills of a magician. Brothers they may be, but at times they seem a lot like an ego and its id.
The Survivor (A Mitch Rapp Novel) by Vince Flynn and Kyle Mills
“The biggest compliment one can give Mills is that it's totally unclear where Flynn's work ends and his begins, in The Survivor.”
Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike Novels) by Robert Galbraith
"Career of Evil is the third--and best--novel in the engaging Cormoran Strike private detective series. . . . [Galbraith has] invented a serial killer for the ages, one who chills us from the book's grim but riveting opening. . . . This perfectly paced mystery is packed with surprises, all of which play out with flawless crime-fiction logic."
Saturn Run by John Sandford and Ctein
Quite a departure for Sandford, who sets aside his Lucas Davenport crime franchise and partners with photographer and sci-fi buff Ctein to leave Earth’s gravitational field for the rings of Saturn. … James Bond meets Tom Swift, with the last word reserved not for extraterrestrial encounters but for international piracy, state secrets, and a spot of satisfyingly underhanded political pressure.
The Promise (Elvis Cole and Joe Pike Series #16) by Robert Crais
“After 20 novels, Crais remains one of crime fiction's smartest and most effortless plotters. The story unfolds with supreme ease.”
