Recommendations for a friend (Thrillers/Suspense/Police Procedurals Etc)
I'm seeking recommendations for a friend who likes the following authors:
Michael Connelly Daniel Silva Nelson Demille Jonathan Kellerman Harlan Coben Stieg Larsson She doesn't like romance () so preferably no romantic suspense. No paranormal/supernatural elements either. Thanks! |

Have him check out Literature Map here http://www.literature-map.com/
You enter an author's name and click return a new page opens with that author's name in the middle and similar authors arrayed around hm. The closer an author is to the name you entered, the more like him they are. |

You're speaking my language :-)... Since they haven't been mentioned-- Michael Marshall (the series begins with Upright Man), Joseph Finder (anything but I loved Company Man) and Joseph Garber (start with Vertical Run).

The Ed McBain 87th Precinct series for police proceedurals, the Joseph Wambaugh novels for stories about (mostly California) cops, the WEB Griffin "Badge of Honor" series for both.
