Frederick Forsyth's earlier stuff (Day of the Jackal, Odessa File, Fourth Protocol)

Red Dragon & Silence of the Lambs (Thomas Harris) are better than the films. Of course you'll probably know the plots already from the films, which might be a dealbreaker.

Forgot to mention:

Taylor Adams, No Exit.

One of the best pure thrillers I've ever read, and I've read a lot of them.
