Not sure if this is a "let us know" thread or not, but shall resume yes...
I'm just starting re-reading Robert Wilson's Javier Falcone books - on "The Silent and the Damned" [ re-titled for the US as "The Vanished Hands" . Mmm...]
I'll tackle the rest again too, I'm enjoying his style.

Really very good - I also have fond memories of "A Small Death in Lisbon", not a Falcone novel, Ze CoelhO is the cop here, as I read it while staying in Sintra, and immediately rushed about exploring Lisbon ! It's interesting in that it runs a investigation of a modern crime alongside events in WW2 in Portugal.

All are well worth consideration, very well written, great characters, and amply backed by research, and familiarity with the countries concerned, that doesn't shout at you, just is.
