Need to get my 13 year old DS reading again

[MyBoysAreFab]

I'm looking for recommendations to get my 13, nearly 14 year old (in November) DS reading again. He hardly reads at all, much to my sadness, and his English teacher is trying to get him to read at home too.

I think he would like crime/thrillers/ murder type books - he's not keen on fantasy/magic type books. I'd like to find something he would really love to get his enthusiasm for reading back. Any suggestions, please!

I picked up 4 Michael Mapurgalo (sp?) books from the charity shop, ds had whipped through them. Looks like we're back on track.
