Two Ed McBains - "The Mugger" and "The Pusher". Both top notch. Also "The Postman always rings twice" by James M. Cain. Pretty good, but not McBain good.

Currently on "Slam the big door" by John D. MacDonald - another of my favourite American thriller writers.

Away from books I am desperately trying to avoid the flag-shaggers and their Jubilee "celebrations".
