Jeffery Deaver
Long before The Bone Collector introduced the calculating brilliance of Lincoln Rhyme to readers around the world, Jeffery Deaver was already quietly assembling the tools of his trade: a fascination with psychology, a sharp legal mind, and a love of music that taught him how to pace a story like a song, with rising tension, sudden drops, and crescendos that leave you breathless.
Born outside Chicago in 1950, Deaver’s path to becoming one of the most inventive voices in modern crime fiction wasn’t linear. He studied journalism, practiced law, and even considered a career in folk music before finding his stride in fiction. That varied background seeps into his novels, where legal nuance, technical precision, and psychological complexity collide in plots that are always one twist ahead of the reader.
Colter Shaw
Across the vast landscapes of America, from isolated forests to buzzing city streets, this series traces the relentless path of a man who turns pursuit into an art form. He is neither cop nor private eye in the conventional sense, he is a tracker, a finder of the lost, a hunter of hidden truths. Each case pulls him into worlds where danger waits behind every door and every clue can spark consequences far beyond what anyone anticipates.
Colter Shaw consists of five primary books, and includes four additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
