20 Great Thrillers, June 2012

Any book that begins with Santa Claus getting his head blown off can’t be all bad, right? That’s what you get with SOFT TARGET. Think “Die Hard in the biggest, most fabulous mall ever” with an ex-Marine, world-class sniper on the inside who needs a gun and an ex-FBI agent on the outside who is trying to get one to him. Weapons junkies will love Stephen Hunter’s knowledge and expertise, and everyone who reads the first page will be caught up in the book’s non-stop suspense. Read this one and plan on doing your Christmas shopping well before December from this time forward.
