Anything by Eric Larson—Devil in the White City, In the Garden of the Beast, Dead Wake. Pageturners all. His formula is two stories happening at the same time and then they intersect!

I agree completely. Our Book Club has read all three. Our all-time favorite, though, is Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, the story of Louis Zamperini, a track Olympian at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, and survivor of Japanese POW camps in WWII.
