The December issue of Men's Journal has an article written by
Jonathan Miles titled Crooks, Spies and Private Eyes that I
thought would interest some list members. Miles has selected
his 15 best thrillers ever written. I'll let Miles, the
International Thrillers Writers Association and list members
debate what qualifies as a thriller. Couldn't find a link to
the list so here is it in his countdown from 15 to 1.
15. Havana - Stephen Hunter 14. Red Lights - Georges Simenon
13. From Russia With Love - Ian Fleming 12. The Last Good
Kiss - James Crumley 11. Hard Revolution - George Pelecanos
10. The Thirty-Nine Steps - John Buchan 9. Dog Soldiers -
Robert Stone 8. The Deep Blue Goodbye - John D. MacDonald 7.
Freedomland - Richard Price 6. The Great Escape - Paul
Brickhill 5. The Tears of Autumn - Charles McCarry 4. The Big
Sleep - Raymond Chandler 3. Kill Shot - Elmore Leonard 2. The
Spy Who Came in from the Cold - John le Carre 1. Rogue Male -
Geoffrey Household
Let the discussion aka debate begin.
