Book recommendations?

[Marie Baker <Bakerm@MCSD.MHRCC.ORG>]

This is a personal request. My son, a graduate student in math, has become
an avid reader over the last few years. His favorite author has been James
Patterson, especially his books featuring psychologist Alex Cross. Recently,
however, my son mentioned that he thinks he's outgrowing Patterson - plots
too predictable, vocabulary too plebian, etc. He's asked me for some
recommendations of authors to move on to and I'm at a loss because my own
personal reading taste is so different from his. Any suggestions??
