Crime, Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

Hi all,

This is the nominations thread for May/June 2017. Please be aware that if you nominate a book and it is chosen as one of the three winners, you are expected to moderate/lead the discussion. You need to be able to at least check in once to twice a week to keep the discussion going.

The rules:
1) Authors aren't allowed to nominate their own books and your post will be deleted (feel free to post in the authors' threads on our site) and you might be banned from the site!
2) 1 book suggestion/nomination per person
3) First come, first serve. So whoever gets their nomination for a book in first, gets dibs on that book
4) A book in a series is fine
5) Please be mindful that recent books might not be readily available (yet) and be mindful that your suggestion is available in multiple formats. Please do NOT suggest books that haven't been published yet.
6) Please check that a book hasn't already been read by checking our unread section of the bookshelf (it's not a 100%, I'm working on it).

Nominations will run until the 13th of April 2017 with voting following via a poll.

Any questions, PM me

The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson

Suspect by Robert Crais

Daddy by Loup Durand

Who has the key to a $350 million fortune the Nazis have sent their most brilliant operative to find? Thomas, an 11-year old boy with the mind of a genius, the cunning of a fox, and the chance of a snowball in Hell to escape...unless he is helped by one man. An American who doesn't even know he exists. A man he calls Daddy.

It's an old book but it was sooo good that I'd like to reread it with you.

Home for the Haunting by Juliet Blackwell

I would like to nominate A Chase of Blood and Steel by Dan Biermeier. This is a thrilling compelling story of two young boys learning the hard way about life. A coming of age story of riding the rails. The hobos lead a fascinating life as they learn the good as well as the evil in these men and women! This is book 1 of a 3 book series and I cannot wait for Book 2. This story is reminiscent of Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn. Climb aboard and travel to the world of Hobo Kingdom.

I have read this book and also have seen the movie. What a twisted plot."

Like I said above, this is based on Scott Peterson and his wife, Laci and, yes, Peterson is sick. It was a horrible way to die. As I also said above, I live very close to where it all happened, and I saw what it did to the community that I live in.

Dark Matter by Greg Iles

An explosive thriller from the worldwide bestselling author Greg Iles, reissued with a distinctive, edgy new livery.

In the heart of North Carolina's Research Triangle stands a corporate laboratory much like the others nearby. But behind its walls, America's top scientists work around the clock to attain the holy grail of the 21st century--a supercomputer that surpasses the power of the human mind.

Appointed by the President as ethicist to Project Trinity, Dr. David Tennant finds himself in a pressure-cooker of cutting edge science and colossal ambition. When his friend and fellow scientist is murdered, David discovers that the genius who runs Project Trinity was responsible and that his own life is in danger. Unable to reach the President, and afraid to trust his colleagues, David turns to Rachel Weiss, the psychiatrist probing the nightmares that have plagued him during his work at Trinity. Rachel is skeptical of David's fears, but when an assassin strikes, the two doctors must flee for their lives.

Pursued across the globe by ruthless National Security Agency operatives, David and Rachel struggle to piece together the truth behind the Project Trinity, and the enormous power it could unleash upon the world. As constant danger deepens their intimacy, Rachel realizes the key to Trinity lies buried in David's disturbed mind.

But Trinity's clock is ticking...

Mankind is being held hostage by a machine that cannot be destroyed.
Its only hope--a terrifying chess game between David and the Trinity computer, with the cities of the world as pawns. But what are the rules? How human is the machine? Can one man and woman change the course of history? Man's future hangs in the balance, and the price of failure is extinction.
