John Rain by Barry Eisler

Absolutely the best advice

James Rollins. Sigma Series especially.

Brad Thor - Scot Harvath Series

definitely recommend Lucas Davenport series by John Sandford... very close style

Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series is very close.

[temac]

Gary Disher's Wyatt series - a tough loner on the wrong side of the law with a strong Australian accent.

+1 on the rec for F. Paul Wilson's 'Repairman Jack' series. I can't quite fathom why the series strikes me as so similar to Lee Chid's style (but apparently I'm not the only one, based on the recommendation above), since the Repairman Jack series has a sort of supernatural component... but if you like Childs, I think you'll love F. Paul Wilson. Series is so addictive I literally stalked the librarian trying to finagle my way to get to the top of waitlists, so I could read em in order.

The closed I have found is the Victor the Assassin series by Tom Wood, like a dark side Jack Reacher.

Might try the Travis Mcgee series by John D. MacDonald, they're older but very similar character type

Rain novels for sure, and Brad Thor......all of them, and of course the late Vince Flynn

[RavenT]

Atticus Kodiak series by Greg Rucka
The Burke novels by Andrew Vachss (Burke is more of an antihero, but the books are hardcore like the Reacher series)

[condorheroes]

Joseph Finder's series on Nick Heller.

[RavenT]

Oh, good one! I've read books 1 and 2 of the series.

Joseph Finder's series on Nick Heller.

Also try:
Sean Black - Ryan Lock series
Andrew Britton - Ryan Kealey series
Tom Cain - Sam Carver series
Marc Cameron - Jericho Quinn
Vince Flynn - Mitch Rapp series
John Gilstrap - Jonathan Grave series
Matt Hilton - Joe Hunter series
Alex Lukeman - Project Black Ops series
Andrew Peterson - Nathan McBride series
Tim Stevens - Joe Venn series
Brad Taylor - Pike Logan series
Tom Wood - Victor the Assassin series

As you may have guessed, ny hubby is an avid reader!

John Rain by Barry Eisler

Seconded.

David Baldacci's, John Puller books are decent as are Andrew Grant's, David Trevellyan books.

Puller is pretty much a clone of reacher. He even uses the same phrases. Not sure if DB is riding the bandwagon or making fun of Lee Child.

Also this series by Stuart Woods is good - quite different, but similar in that it's an easy entertaining read.
