Gina Wohlsdorf, Security (2016)Read about another entry on the list.
Security is so cool. In this ode to Daphne du Maurier and slasher fiction, two killers attack the small staff of a magnificent hotel on the eve of opening.

Security is among Christopher Swann's six great novels with mysterious protagonists and James S. Murray's five books that are pulpy in all the right ways.
