"The Samaritan" received a Pulitzer last month and deserved it.
"Into Oblivion" by Arnaldur Indridason, another prequel about Erlendur as a new detective.
Latest Ian Rankin, which I bought as a used book and is signed by the author!

Books of once popular writer Gerald A Browne have recently become available in ebook format; well written thrillers usually involving diamonds or other precious stones and the "perfect crime" they are well worth rediscovering.

I'm working my way through them again and just finished 11Harrowhouse.

Just finished the five books of Friedrich Glauser, a German writer from the thirties. The German mystery prize is named after him. Has a great ability to define characters in just a few words. Try the first, "Fever."

I just finished The Cairo Affair, by Olen Steinhauer. Fantastic novel of espionage and intrigue, set in present day Middle East. I highly recommend it

Read his six books about a police detective office in communist eastern Europe.  Each book tells the

story about a different detective.  The first one is Bridge of Sighs.

Anne Holt's The Lion's Mouth.  As usual, the characters of this Norwegian author are terrifically drawn, but

the plot in this one is a little weak.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Currently reading a series by Baxter Clare, American police novels set in LA.

Very readable.
