Can anyone recommend a fiction or historic fiction book of any genre that has a really memorable bad guy. I want him or her to be really smart and type of person I'm constantly trying to figure out what exactly they're up to and be impressed with their level of villain. I don't like anything too far-fetched or grandiose, more like bank robber, kidnapper. terrorist etc as opposed to James Bond taking entire country's hostage type of bad guy. As an example, the Nazi who plays chess at the end of City of Thieves had me thinking about that character for weeks although he played a very small part in the book so I'd like somebody the bit of a bigger role but I'd love to hear some suggestions. Thanks in advance
