Some New Suspense Fiction Books

Posted by Jacob Biggs on June 28, 2010

Chances are, if you are taking a look at an article with this kind of title, you are an avid reader of suspense fiction books and you are looking for an author that might be altogether new to you. Sure, there are hundreds in the genre alone that you could choose from, but it might be easier to start with one.

Yes, for the sake of this article in particular, you should be introduced to two of the better novels by one particular author. This way, you are going to be able to determine for yourself whether the author seems like someone that you could enjoy reading or not. For this article, the author that you are going to be introduced to will be Ted Dekker, and you will be introduced to two of his most popular pieces of suspense fiction.

As was said, these will be two of the most popular works of fiction that Dekker has released, and the first on this list to many might be the novel “Thr3e”. This was good enough to make into a major motion picture, if that says anything. It centers around Kevin, a man who has recently completed seminary only to be in the cross hairs of an attack on his character and moral standing.

This becomes quite a wicked game of cat and mouse as Kevin struggles to stay alive and learn what he must to stop Slater. Through the story you are given plenty of twists and turns so that by the end you never would have guessed where you ended up. No one is quite who they appear to be, and that makes for one excellent suspense fiction novel.

The next book that you might care to check out from Dekker would be “Adam”. This book centers on an FBI special agent that has been saddled with the case of catching a serial killer at large. Every new moon, the killer strikes again and murders an innocent girl. So far, Eve (as the Killer is called), has killed 15 women with no signs of slowing.

The agent nearly catches the killer, but it almost nearly costs him his life. His memory of the killer fails him for those brief moments when he was presumably dead. Now, his wife is going to be the next victim of Eve, unless he can catch the murderer. How can he do this you might ask? Well, by dying over and over again to put the pieces together and remember the killer in order to catch him.

You might not have heard of Ted Dekker before, and that is quite all right. However, if you are looking for an impressive name in the field of suspense fiction books, than Dekker is certainly near the top of this list. But don’t just take this article as your proof, pick up a novel and see for yourself when you have trouble putting it back down again.
