I like Michael Connelly's books.  He has written more about homicide detective Harry Bosch, but also about Lincoln Lawyer Micky Haller, Bosch's half-brother and a few books with both characters.

Barry Eisler's books remind me a little of the Jack Reacher stories, except that John Lone is some kind of assassin.

How many are in that series? I am looking soon to start up something new.


Bump....
23 Harry Bosch, 5 Micky Haller, 2 Jack McEvoy and a bunch of other stuff.  He's very proific.

Both Michael Connelly and Lee Childs have new books out in the past few months.

My two favorite authors that meld lots of actual facts / history into great stories (similar to Dan Brown):
Steve Berry
James Rollins

Two of my favorites also!
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

i would heartily recommend Jean Auel's earths children series, 7 books and quite thick at that and well worth me getting replacements for the ones that have fallen apart so i can re read the whole series :happy:

Second this, especially the first two. Never made it past the forth book as I realized they had evolved into a Harlequin romance set in caveman times. No longer my cup of tea...
