Dov Haller's great.
And I was pleasantly surprised by The Freedom to Be. I wouldn't say it rates with some of my other favorites but since I knew of a local library that didn't want to get it, I was wondering how heavy or graphic it was, and if it was at least passably written. I would say that the bolded sums it up well.

When I was a kid I liked Ruth Benjamin and Chaim Eliav (The Gordian Knot was a favorite) but his later books I found too sensationalist and catered more to the exciting plot than to actual literature.. |
FTR, Yair Weinstock wrote The Gordian Knot. I was wowed by the first two thirds of it, before it veered into thriller territory.
And Chaim Eliav (aka R' Moshe Grylak; he himself is quite open about it. I wouldn't out anyone who's still laboring under the delusion that people don't really know who s/he is  ) wrote The Mission, The Runaway, In the Spider's Web, and I think one more I'll remember once I get in the car.

The Envelope?
Yeah, you gave away nothing...even his niece told me years ago who he was before English Mishpacha came out; he didn't care if others knew
