Lincoln's Lieutenants by Stephen Sears. A Civil War author, he is a successor to Bruce Catton. I think I've read all of his books.
A friend sent my the entire Adrian McKinty catalog, so I'll probably sample a few of those.
I've started C.J. Box's Joe Pickett novels and making good progress.
Also, on tap I have Peter James, Peter Robinson, and Paul Doiron. Paul writes about a game warden in Maine, while C.J. Box writes about a game warden in Wyoming. Both series are excellent.(less)
