Barry Eisler recommends
Water Memory (2021)
(Sentro, book 1)
Daniel Pyne
"Water Memory moves like Die Hard but with a tragic family backstory as its heart—and with an indelible, three-dimensional action heroine, Aubrey Sentro, as the muscle and sinew. I loved it."
The Last Agent (2020)
(Charles Jenkins, book 2)
Robert Dugoni
"The thriller equivalent of a Matryoshka nesting doll: an outer layer of geopolitics; a deeper layer of intricate spycraft; and at its center, an unlikely alliance to save a brave Russian asset from the worst fate imaginable."
Carbon (2019)
Andrew Vachss
"I've been reading Vachss for 30 years and he only gets better. This time, he delivers the payload of his righteous obsession with child protection in a new weapon: a science fiction tale, the dystopian story of a killer and the child he bonds with set in an arresting world that's like a dark, shattered mirror of our own."
