I don't know how to explain how much these two have in common, but they both blew me away when I read them. I mainly believe its the unique scenes and occupations, plus the dynamics between the characters that I feel is pretty rare compared to most thriller novels. I didn't mind L.A. Confidential and I'm a big fan of Don Winslow's work and weird fiction, hope this is all helpful!
