S. A. Cosby is a master of tension and suspense. 

His books have a wonderful pacing thing, where it's like the tides. There's an ebb and flow to the rising tension, and then it breaks and cools down into a soothing valley before starting to ramp back up towards the next crest.

Its an addictive pattern to fall into. 

The storytelling, though, is just so damn good. He's writing thrillers, but his characters are so well developed and go through so much growth,  it's like reading literary fiction. 

I can not recommend his books enough.
