Can you please suggest some great novels to read?

That’s pretty broad description. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but one of my favorites is Patricia Briggs’ Mercedes Thompson series.

One of the most important books to read is 1984 by George Orwell.

Charles Dickens;

A Tale of Two Cities.

Outlander by Diana Galbaldon

The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis

Well, judging by the description of your questions, I would suggest

- Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novels.
– Tom Rod Smith’s Child 44
– Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon

@shadowboxer WE by Yevgeny Zamyatin. One of the most important yet almost unknown works on the subject written. The Ginsburg translation is considered to be the best. It changed me forever.

Hoeg, Peter ~ Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow

Misery Misery Misery. (One title!) hehe

Shadow of the Wind by Zafon. And Stoner by John Williams.

Atlas Shrugged.
