As a book, License to Kill by James Gardner is not bad at all. I’m not sure when the overlap between the script/production and the novel happened
I enjoyed An Inside Job by Daniel Silva, it’s a good art thriller with the feel of a cozy mystery. I appreciate Allon’s post-espionage career,
What I like about Grisham’s novels is that they have guts, they’re trying to say something while giving the reader a good overview of what law means
Win, Lose or Die might have fared better had it not been shackled to the Bond franchise, which comes with certain expectations of derring-do fantasy
