Try reading "A Shot In The Heart." It is written by Mikal Gilmore and based on the life of his brother, serial killer, Gary Gilmore. "The Executioner's Song" was also based off of Gilmore's crazy, sick life.

Try any of the Jonathan Kellerman books. They are great and usually have great twists in them. I like his Alex Deleware series.
Patricia Cornwell is a great writer, I especially liked Body Farm.
James Patterson's Alex Cross Mysteries are also very good.
Of course for down right gore, violence, murder, mayhem and the like, nothing beats a Stephen King book. I would suggest Pet Semetary, Cujo, The Tommyknockers, Dead Zone, It, The Shining, etc.

Check out these authors: Matthew Reilly, James Clemens, Ted Bell, J.A.Jance, Stuart Woods, Clive Cussler, Jack duBrul, James Doss, John Dunning, Iris Johannsen, Patricia Cromwell, Carol Nelson Douglas, John Ringo's new series that has these books: GHOST, KILDAR, CHOOSERS OF THE SLAIN. These should get you started. I have read well over 565,000 books in my life, and these are some of the new authors I like. Old authors are H. Rider Haggard, Luke Short, H. Beam Piper, etc.

I recently read a book titled "End of Story" by Peter Abrahams. It's kinda a thriller, with some murder, lies, and sex thrown in. It's got some good twists (especially at the end). I highly suggest it. If you do decide to read it (or anyone else, for that matter) please let me know what you think!

a smart murder mystery I am reading right now is 'The Dante Club' by Matthew Pearl...I usually don't like those types of books, but this one is really good with some amazingly disgusting and gory details

Omg The Hazlewood High Trilogy by Sharon Draper. Tears of a Tiger, Forged by Fire, and Darkness before Dawn. They are so good!

Stephen Lawhead writes historical/celtic books. Lots of gore and murder, and you'll love the twists and turns.

If you like to read fiction with a little exageration, I say go for James frey's A million little peices, and hthe sequal to it My friend Leonard. Both absolutely amazing books true or not, embellished or not! Hope this helps!!!

James Ellroy...intricate, convoluted, atmospheric, noir! A troubled man telling troubling tales.
Elmore Leonard...straightforward, authentic, selectively violent, amusing (at times).
John Gregory Dunne...acerbic, cynical. "True Confessions."
