This author is a retired police officer. He has written at least two crime thrillers. I think they were published in the last 4-8 years. I seem to remember that they came onto the market at the same time as Linda Fairsteins first 2 books. I can't recall the names of any of the characters in the books. I just remember not being able to put them down, they were that good. Action set in America but not any of the major big cities.

Any help very much appreciated.

Thank you

The only one I can think of is Joseph wambaugh

Thanks for reply. No, it is not Wambaugh. This author has only been published in the last few years. He has not written many books. I have only read 2 and have never seen any more on offer in the shops. I wish I could remember his name. I seem to remember that H was the initial of his last name. Not Harlen Coben. They were good ,interesting murder mysteries.

Thanks again.

How about Mike Smitley? If he's the one, he has a website.
