Author websites

This is a list of mystery and thriller authors. While the list has a fairly wide range (most people would agree that Janet Evanovich and Thomas Harris have different styles), I'm still keeping it limited to mystery and thriller writers. So while I might want to throw in a link to Steven Brust (one of my favorite fantasy authors), I won't be putting it in the list below.
Like all lists of this nature, it is incomplete. If you have any additions you think should be included, please send them in. But keep in mind that I'd prefer a single "official" site to ten fan sites (even though fan sites are often far better executed).
