Why on earth is Stieg Larsson in this list?
I'll remove those.
Susanna - Censored by GoodReads wrote: "I'll remove those."
Removed Harlan Coben, Stuart Woods & Bill Culver. I'd be greatly surprised if they turn out to be women.

How can I find a book when I can't remember the author or the title but I can recall the entire plot. Looked for it here, but nothing came to me. I was such a good mystery too. I've been researching everywhere.

Does anyone know of a list of political thrillers with female protagonists/leads (not necessarily written by written although that's cool, too)? What are your favorites?
Lee child shouldn't be in this list either.
