Personally, in terms of modern thrillers, I don't think anyone has surpassed John Le Carre - or ever will. His Smiley books are superb - and would probably be on my short-list for if I could only read one book again ( a 3 in 1 edition of the Tinker Tailor Trilogy). I have also just read his latest book, Absolute Friends, which was similarly excellent.

Also worth reading with similar sort of logic subplot is the Oxford Murders by Guillermo Martinez. Actually don't know really why this strikes me as being in the same genre - but it does - and is excellent.
