If you like spy/espionage novels, the great Charles McCarry is a must, especially his Paul Christopher novels but anything he has written is superb. He is unarguably the greatest American spy novelist and I’d never heard of him until a month ago. I would suggest “The Tears of Autumn” http://www.amazon.com/The-Tears-Autumn-Charles-McCarry/dp/1585676616 to start (if you want to know the “truth” about the Kennedy assassination) or “The Miernik Dossier” http://www.amazon.com/The-Miernik-Dossier-Charles-McCarry/dp/1585677361 which was his first published novel. But anything by McCarry is great.
Mr. McCarry is in his 80s now but his novels read like they were written by a master only yesterday. Although out of print, they were all available at my local library.
I’m also taken with Olen Steinhauer, another great writer, who in an interview turned me on to McCarry, one of his great influences.
Thanks for the info!
