Anthony Bruno’s three standalone novels sit outside his series work and show a broader range. Seven (1995) is his novelization of the David Fincher film, bringing the same grim procedural atmosphere of the movie to prose. The Temptations of St. Frank (2009) and Bleeders (2014) are original works that reflect his continued interest in crime and moral complexity.

The standalones are a good entry point for readers who want Bruno’s writing without committing to a series, though his series novels remain where his strongest work lives.
