The action never stops, even when the killer is found. Gross is a co-author with James Patterson and has developed the right ingredients for a real page-turner.

Mounting fears, by Stuart Woods

Another in the series about Will Lee, now President of the United States, and his wife Kate, now CIA Director. A group seizes a missile site in Pakistan; a vice president has cancer; affairs are covered up and uncovered; the elusive Teddy Faye is discovered in Panama City. Another great suspense story from Woods.

Terminal freeze, by Lincoln Child

A story from frozen Alaska; scientists find something buried in ice that looks like a sabre-toothed tiger. A documentary team flies in to film the unveiling of the corpse, but instead the thing defrosts itself and becomes what it was when it was flash-frozen: a killing machine. Blood, gore, and ice trucking - what fun!
