James Scott Bell (and other authors)

I just heard about this guy (well, not just like three weeks ago, but I haven't actually looked for his books) James Scott Bell who is the author of "The Darwin Conspiracy" and allot of other thrillers. I'm planning on heading over to the Library across the street to either check-out some of his books or inter-library loan a few. :D

http://www.jamesscottbell.com/ <-- There is his official website with all his novel titles. I was browsing around there this morning and found a few good titles.

Try Dying:
This is one of his more recent novels (I think)

Chapter 1
On a wet Tuesday morning in December, Ernesto Bonilla, twenty-eight, shot his twenty-three-year-old wife, Alejandra, in the back yard of their West 45th Street home in South Los Angeles. As Alejandra lay bleeding to death, Ernesto proceeded to drive their Ford Explorer to the westbound Century Freeway connector where it crossed over the Harbor Freeway and pulled to a stop on the shoulder.
Bonilla stepped around the back of the SUV, ignoring the rain and the afternoon drivers on their way to LAX and the west side, and placed the barrel of his .38 caliber pistol into his mouth and fired.
His body fell over the shoulder and plunged 100 feet, hitting the roof of a Toyota Camry heading northbound on the Harbor Freeway. The impact crushed the roof of the Camry. The driver, Jacqueline Dwyer, twenty-seven, an elementary school teacher from Reseda, died at the scene.
This would have been simply another dark and strange coincidence, the sort of thing that shows up for a two minute report on the local news – with live remote from the scene – and maybe gets a follow-up the next day. But eventually the story would go away, fading from the city's collective memory.
But this story did not go away. Not for me. Because Jacqueline Dwyer was the woman I was going to marry.

It sounds very sad, but at the same time very good.
