Mark Pepper writes Crime Fiction with a lot of punch–a couple of my recent favorites—but what kind of books does he recommend?


First Blood – David Morrell

The book that started it all off. Very different to the movie!

Dispatches – Michael Herr

The horror of Vietnam

Mortal Error: The Shot that Killed JFK – Bonar Menninger

Fascinating and compelling analysis of that day by a firearms and ballistics expert. By the end, you’ll be in no doubt.

Psychic Warrior – David Moorhouse

Billed as “The true story of the CIA’s paranormal espionage programme”, written by a key participant. More a spiritual journey than an exposé. Published in 1996, it makes you wonder what the hell they might be up to these days.

The Real Anthony Fauci – RFK Jr.

Controversial, but everything is backed up to the hilt by reference after reference. Whatever your political persuasion, set that aside and read about a truly evil man.

Be sure to check out Pepper’s Books!
