The series on Detective Harry Bosch by Michael Connelly are very good - there's loads of them. First in series is called Black Echo.

Also if you enjoy sci-fi and Terminator series in particular try this:

'Infiltrator' by S M Stirling

It's superb.

didn't expect to see a fellow "Bosch" reader, how far are you now with the books ? i finished "The Burning Room" last night.

cannot recommend the Bosch Books enough, and if you've seen the show thats on amazon, and you think i don't need to read them as i've seen the show, the books are different, such a fantastic universe Connolly created

other one i would recommend is 11.22.63 by Stephen King, (an english teacher finds a time bubble, and attempts to go back in time to stop the JFK assassination) my favourite book of all time that one
