Good thrillers?

Can you recommend any good thrillers anyone? I know there's some good, cheap ones out there. I want to compare them to mine. I know Tim Ellis is good. Anymore?

Mine's called Murderson, by the way.

Try 'The Eight of spades: A Law unto Themselves' by Benjamin J. West I can highly recommend itThe Eight of Spades: A Law Unto ThemselvesThe Eight of Spades: A Law unto Themselves

I have one called Thermals (Anselm Gunnar), about an Interpol agent assigned to help track down a terrorist in an Australian city. It's been well reviewed so far if you want to compare against an indie author's offerings. :)

Hello Readers,

If you enjoy reading complex murder mysteries full of twists and turns, and have unexpected endings, I'd like to suggest these two novels for your consideration:

The Shrunken Head Murders is available for only £0.70.

Defending Evil is available for only £0.49

Michael Redford died on his seventeenth birthday - the night Eddie picked him up off the street, shot him full of heroin and assaulted him.

Just 70p for Hamelin's Child, a psychological thriller which was long-listed for the CWA Debut Dagger Award. Dark and disturbing, this has some great reviews - and they're not all from my friends! If you like nail-biting tension, why not download a free sample?

Thanks!

Black Shadows is a hardboiled noir thriller and authonomy gold star winner. Compared by some to Chandler, Hammett and even James Ellroy. Praised by Burn Baby Burn's bestselling kindle author, Jake Barton and recently showcased on Alan Guthrie's Criminal-E.
And now due to some amazon promo, you can get it for under £1!

I have just written the following review for the eighth book by thriller writer Conrad Jones. It is the best yet and the series is still on offer at 99pence/ cents. His first novel Soft Target has been successfully turned into a screen play and the rights optioned. He started writing in 2007 and has nine books to his name already. Every one of them is a blockbuster. His books make the Bourne series seem boring. Keep your eye on this prolific new author.
Criminal Revenge (extended teen version of Slow Burn) (Soft Target teen Series)

There are some great titles here, Scott.
I will add The Company of Fellows which is essentially a Hannibal Lecter novel set in Oxford University

Hi - may I introduce The Silent Knights It's a thriller set in and around the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Detective Anthony Paris investigates a series of murders, each seemingly impossible and intended to challenge rational explanation. As the investigation proceeds it becomes evident that there is a sinister cult whose members are most likely to be responsible. The story reaches its climax on Christmas Eve when Paris must not only rescue an innocent child but fight for his very life.

Yellow Medicine is now available on Kindle for only 69p. And right off the bat, we've got 2 5-star reviews from celebrated crime novelists Roger Smith (Wake Up Dead: A Thriller) and J.D. Rhoades (Lawyers, Guns and Money).

Deputy Billy Lafitte is not unfamiliar with the law-he just prefers to enforce it, rather than abide by it. But his rule-bending and bribe-taking have gotten him kicked off the force in Gulfport, Mississippi, and he's been given a second chance-in the desolate, Siberian wastelands of rural Minnesota. Now Billy's only got the local girls and local booze to keep him company.

Until one of the local girls-cute little Drew, bassist for a psychobilly band-asks Billy for help with her boyfriend. Something about the drugs Ian's been selling, some product he may have lost, and the men who are threatening him because of it. Billy agrees to look into it, and before long he's speeding down a snowy road, tracking a cell of terrorists, with a severed head in his truck's cab. And that's only the start...

Murderson

London and the South West of England are the hunting ground of a serial killer. The brutal killer, nicknamed The Clock, hunts young men in their thirties, kills them and turns their bodies into macabre clock faces at each crime scene.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Webb, a tired middle aged policeman with a failed relationship still haunting him, investigates the series of murders with the help of Dr. Kirill Fedorov, a man who believes he can spot potential serial killer behaviour in children and cure it. Webb also persuades the now fully-grown Luke Wind, the only British boy that Dr. Fedorov cured and treated like a son, to help him find the killer. Fedorov convinces Luke that he should still be able to understand a serial killer's mind, but when Luke looks into himself he begins to doubt that he has been cured after all, especially when the killings begin to look personal.

The Abattoir (An Ellie Danson Mystery) is a fast-paced tale of psychological suspense, about a serial killer using the glamorous Meatpacking District in Manhattan as his own personal hunting ground and the tough, dogged cop, Detective Ellie Danson, who's out to stop him. It has a great cast of characters that you'll grow to know and love, like FBI profiler Special Agent Gravelle and Ellie's boyfriend Jay, an Asst. U.S. Attorney who both aid her in the investigation. If you like James Patterson's Alex Cross series, then you'll love this series debut. Only .70p through May, so get your copy today.

It sounds like easy money-a bit of driving work for enigmatic 'Investigative Consultant' Paul Zoff. But when struggling comic book dealer Rob Nelson takes on the job, he finds out there's a bit more to it than just driving.
Millionaire carpet king and retired cat burglar Jack Horner has had some rare comics stolen and and his right-hand man shot dead in a robbery, and thinks Zoff and Nelson might be the men to recover his property. But when two gunmen start to show an interest in Zoff's investigation and things start to turn nasty, there's only one place to go...Whitby. Very nice this time of year...
A rollicking Noir-ish tale of murder, mayhem and synth-pop, 'Acceptable In The Eighties' is funnier than 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', and shorter than 'The Big Sleep'.
Acceptable In The Eighties

Hi Scott
If you like Tim Ellis then I guess you're into police procedurals but, if you're up for trying something different, then you might want to give my second book, Abiding Evil, a go.

A chillingly dark, supernatural thriller, Abiding Evil features a 'truly terrifying evil presence' and has lately been doing OK in the bestseller lists. It's currently:

#1 in Books > Fiction > Horror > Ghosts
#3 in Books > Fiction > Horror > Thrillers
#3 in Books > Fiction > Horror > Occult

A group of friends and their children have travelled to a newly re-opened hotel that lies a mile or so within the boundaries of a vast, ancient forest. Cut off by an unexpected and powerful early snowstorm they soon realise that the almost impenetrable forest surrounding them is hiding a dark, abiding malevolence.
And it is hunting them.
Battling the deep snow, poorly equipped and with no communication or hope of help from the world beyond the trees, the friends are thrown into a desperate and terrifying fight for survival.

From some of the reviews:
"A SUPERB READ"
"AMAZING, ENTICING, WITH WONDERFUL IMAGERY"
"I THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND THIS"
"A DARK TALE, FULL OF MENACE"
"A TRULY TERRIFYING EVIL PRESENCE"
"I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY ENOUGH"
"SUPERB HORROR, WONDERFULLY WRITTEN, EXCITING AND WELL PACED"

Enjoy;-)

Alison Buck
author of:Abiding Evil
and Devoted Sisters
Both titles available on Kindle (for just £1.55),
Kobo and in paperback.

...But if police procedural crime thrillers are what you want, I have heard very good things about Mel Comley and Saffina Desforges' books. And if murder mystery thrillers are your thing, I've also heard good stuff about the work of Seb Kirby and Dan Holloway. So, plenty of choice...

Enjoy ;-)

Bobby on the Run

PC Jack Lucas is a present day city centre police officer. He is a dedicated and thorough police officer and family man. He is well respected by his peers and everything in his life is going well. One Saturday night Lucas is on patrol when he and a colleague witness a group of males attack and attempt to rob another male. Lucas and his colleague intervene and Lucas is attacked by the main offender with a knife. He is forced to use a high level of force to defend himself and arrest the offender. Following a complaint made about the incident, Lucas quickly finds himself the suspect in a criminal investigation of assault by his forces complaints department and is arrested. Whilst in custody Lucas's prisoner dies, apparently of injuries caused by his arrest. Lucas soon discovers that the offender did not die as a result of injuries caused by him, but of someone else's neglect. At the same time he also discovers that the complaints department are forging false evidence to show it was his actions that killed the prisoner which will guarantee he is sent to prison for Manslaughter. He escapes from custody with the evidence and goes on the run as a wanted criminal whilst conducting his own investigation into the events...will he be able to clear his name? Bobby on the Run is based on real life experiences of real police officers.

On the reviews, seven people seem to have loved it. One person hated it - but I think there is an agenda there!

I've heard good things about Silver by Steven Savile. My own offering is The Cambridge List, a dark comedy thriller set in Cambridge University.
