There's also Dave Wilson, a former detective and music lover – he once interviewed Peter Hook! He's into thrillers like me.
His new book is called, 'When a Red Light Shines'.

"Harlen Coben, Lee Child, John Grisham, Jeff Abbot. All the best suspense writers are men – not any more."

Thanks to my mate "Markie" Mark for this kind comment.
