Books That Go Boom: Terrorism Thrillers
We worry about crime in the streets and insane serial killers, but sometimes the threat comes from outside the U.S.A. Be it greedy drug bosses, religious fanatics, those driven by nationalistic fervor or led by maniacal leaders, we are all at risk. If you enjoy reading about thwarting terrorism of all kinds, try a few of these books. All of these titles are located in the Adult Fiction section of the Library unless otherwise noted.
