How about I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes? That's a pretty decent spy thriller. It is post 9/11, but only mentioned in the periphery (if I recall correctly).
I heard about this title. It seems to be getting a movie as well. I shall put it on my list.
Updated List:
A Death In Sweden The Girl in the Glass: A McCabe and Savage Thriller The Lock Artist: A Novel National Security: A Jericho Quinn Thriller The Killer The Billion Dollar Spy: A True Story Of Cold War Espionage And Betrayal I Am Pilgrim -
Maybe something by Helen Fitzgerald? The Exit and The Devils Staircase are both quite dark.
The Exit sounds interesting!
Nice find

Have you read 'My Name is N' by Robert Karjel? (It has the alternative title of 'The Swede'.) I read it earlier this year, and rather enjoyed it. It has a nice, twisty ending. It was my first ever thriller, though, so I have nothing to compare it with!
Haven't read it, but it looks good. Has good reviews on Amazon. I shall add it to my list.

I LOVE spy thrillers and well written psychogical thrillers are slowly growing on me.
I'm compiling a list of books for my winter reading. Here is what I have so far:
A Death In SwedenThe Girl in the Glass: A McCabe and Savage Thriller
Runner (Sam Dryden #1)
If you recommend psychogical thrillers, I them to be dark and maybe the main character questions reality? Think Mr. Robot without the computer hacker part.
For spy thrillers, I don't want post 9/11 thrillers. To be honest, it's becoming repetitive. I don't mind thrillers that are post Snowden, but they have to be well researched and written, I don't want authors that think computers can hack into things within a matter of minutes, and have computers be unrealistic.
Looking For a New Genre To Read

Greetings All,
I'm currently looking for a new genre of fiction to get into. I absolutely love spy thrillers, however, a majority of them have the same concept. The spy/assassin gets into doing what he/she does, because of some past tragedy. All the spy novels seem to follow the same concept, just different characters. Right now, unless it's spy history/biography, then I'm not reading it.
I've tried to get into space opera/fantasy, but, I struggled with it. I always tend to find the space opera that's always military space opera. I've read a little Lost Fleet but couldn't finish it. I prefer watching space-opera/fantasy than reading it. If you can recommend a good non-military space opera that's easy to get into, doesn't take itself too seriously, and overall a fun read, then lets hear it.
Sticking with the thriller, can anyone recommend an "every man" type thriller? Maybe one where the MC isn't a black ops/solider that can handle himself, maybe the average person is wrapped up in a government conspiracy.
