Editor’s note A prolific thriller writer whose books sit in a narrow band of ratings, so pick by series. Absolute Power, his 1996 debut, was filmed by Clint Eastwood. His most read series are Will Robie (an assassin, from The Innocent) and Amos Decker, a detective who cannot forget anything (The Last Mile is the second). The John Puller book The Escape rates highest; Simple Genius rates lowest.
