Thriller writers tend not to be proud; certainly they do not usually pretend to have discovered life's great truths.

Author:John le Carré
Language: English
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton (UK) & Alfred A. Knopf (USA)
"The Little Drummer Girl," in which a young British woman is drawn into the deadly brinkmanship between the two camps, was written more than two decades ago, but with its sense of location and atmosphere it has not been bettered..
The Day of the Jackal

Author:Frederick Forsyth
Language: English
Publisher: Hutchinson
Yes, this is a terrorism story: A dissident political group in Paris in 1963 hires an amoral marksman to assassinate the French head of state, Charles de Gaulle. It didn't actually happen, of course, so before we've read the first page we know that the murder attempt will fail . . .
The Unknown Soldier

Author:Gerald Seymour
Language: English
Publisher: Bantam Press
The Unknown Soldier is being marketed as a "thrillingly suspenseful novel from one of the world's masters of espionage fiction," which is accurate enough and presumably will do it good in the bookstores, but it sells the book short.

Review
A brilliant read, I promise it: A terrorist conspiracy targets the Super Bowl. Thomas Harris, a former Associated Press reporter, knows how security apparatchiks operate, but the author of "The Silence of the Lambs" (1988) also tells a hell of a good story. Thriller writers tend not to be proud; certainly they do not usually pretend to have discovered life's great truths. The story rules, and the crucial question is: "What if . . .?" In this case, it is: What if Arab terrorists so detest the U.S. that they use a blimp to try to kill the president and 80,000 football fans in New Orleans on the big day? Here's the biggest compliment on offer to a popular novelist: I couldn't put it down.
