Another long-running character is author John Sandford’s Lucas Davenport. In “Buried Prey” (Putnam), two corpses turn up when a house is torn down. Davenport must fight a turf war with other police officials as he tracks down the killer.
Michael Connelly may be the best thriller writer we have. He shows why in “The Fifth Witness” (Little, Brown). It’s a dandy courtroom drama starring Connelly’s ethically challenged Lincoln lawyer, Mickey Haller.
David Anthony teaches English at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and has written a black-comedy thriller, “Something for Nothing” (Algonquin). In this tale, an unlikable hero is forced to smuggle drugs — and to deal with a surprise of a villain.
