Well, the obvious pick if you like Jack Reacher would be Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan books (the first five in chronological order):
1. Patriot Games
2. Red Rabbit
3. The Hunt for Red October
4. The Cardinal of the Kremlin
5. Clear and Present Danger
You could also go with Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp books (the first five in chronological order)::
1. American Assassin
2. Kill Shot
3. Transfer of Power
4. The Third Option
5. Separation of Power
Other great reads:
* James Clavell: Asian series Shogun, Noble House, Tai-Pan, King Rat, Whirlwind, Gai-Jin.
* Larry McMurtry: Lonesome Dove
* Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose; Foccault’s Pendulum
* Andy Weir: The Martian; Artemis; Project Hail Mary
* Christopher Moore: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal
* Gillian Flynn: Gone Girl
* Alex Michaelides: The Silent Patient
* Dennis LeHane: Shutter Island

Thomas Perry writes good thrillers. I particularly like the Jane Whitefield series.
