Runner-Carl Deuker

No Country for Old Men

The author David Baldacci has a trilogy out about a US government sponsored hit-man named will Robie. I've read two of the books so far and would recommend them. The first one is called The Hit. "America has enemies — ruthless people that the police, the FBI, even the military can’t stop. That’s when the U.S. government calls on Will Robie, a stone-cold hitman who never questions orders and always nails his target. But Will Robie may have just made the first — and last — mistake of his career. It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn’t seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable. He refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape from his own people." Also, Cardinal of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy is more of a spy novel. Though it is less action packed, it is more suspenseful and one of the best books I've ever read.

Pretty sure the Bourne books were written before the Hitman series... But the king of adult thriller books is Dean Koontz, unless you are wanting to read something for teens like the Maze Runner.

Dean Koontz novels are pretty solid.
