Hi All,
I am an avid reader and love to read a lot of mystery thriller books. I love Agatha Christie, Dan Brown, David Baldacci books and I can go on with the list of authors.
Recently, I have noticed that most of the mystery/thriller books are in the psychological genre and I need a break from it. Those that are in action genre have mostly predictable plots with either Russia, N. Korea or middle east as the bad guys.
Do you have any recommendations for books such as the Camel Club, King & Maxwell and John Puller series? They don't have to be series, I am good for stand alone books. What I loved about these books is the twists, turns and amazing climax without bringing world politics into it.
thanks

How about books that deal with the area of both terrorism and military such as the books John Ringo have been known to turn out.
One serous of his started with the main character after being force out of the Seals witness a terrorist kidnapping on the college campus he was attending an after dealing with a number of such events became of all things a warlord with a harem in a former Russian republic while doing odd jobs for the US government on the side.
@BillRM,
John Ringo can be great. He can also be so horrible it's hard to believe there aren't two people sharing the same library shelf.
@FatM1,
Just recommended the Bernie Gunther books by Philip Kerr on another thread.

His science fiction is mostly weak except for books he co written with David Weber.
@FatM1,
Probably you read Stieg Larsson, also you can try Jo Nesbo.
