I'm currently reading False Horizon, the second novel by Duke alum Joe Reid (Class of 1995), who's a friend and fraternity brother from my undergrad days. His first novel, Takeoff, came out a couple of years ago.
They're action/crime thrillers with a particular focus on technology and aviation that revolve around the adventures of Seth Walker, a federal air marshal. If you like Lee Child's Jack Reacher books, you might enjoy these too. Good, fun escapist entertainment for reading on the beach or at poolside during the summer. And you get to support an emerging Duke author!
