I've dabbled in Tom Clancy (great, but I'm no gun nut), Roberto Bolano's 2666 (intriguing, but never finished) and managed the Bourne Trilogy - but put off by the connection to Van Lustbader. Never liked his work.

Can anyone recommend works in another genre that may pique a SF nut's interest? I'm looking at trying some crime fiction, never read that, or even just some plain contemporary. I don't like period drama, so stuff set earlier than 1900 may be pushing it (unless it's free ) and even then...

Any ideas? Got some money to put down on some ebooks...
