If you like novels about the sea, try "The nautical chart" by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, one of the best Spanish writers alive.

I tend to like things like what Jeff Hepple writes--fictionalized non-fiction. He takes a real topic and basically adds in what the characters might have said (we know what they did). He writes the story around the facts, bringing the history alive.

Then you definitely want to read "In cold blood" by Truman Capote.
