| Razor Girl: A Novel by Carl HiaasenCrime Caper. Although this is the 2nd novel to feature former cop Andrew Yancy (now on the payroll as a member of the roach patrol), you needn't have read the prior one (Bad Monkey) to enjoy the antics he gets reluctantly involved in. Opening with a scam artist's very...unique...way of snaring marks, this offbeat crime caper involves a case of mistaken identity, a bigoted reality TV star, stolen sand, a very large engagement ring, property issues, an addictive male-enhancement potion (with unfortunate side-effects), and too many sub-plots to count. |

| Midnight Sun: A Novel by Jo NesbøeBook & eAudiobook. Scandinavian Crime Fiction. Calling himself Ulf, failed hitman Jon is hiding from his vindictive former employer in a tiny village in Norway's Arctic Circle. Seeking shelter in the church that houses a religious sect, he meets a grieving widow and her young son, who offer not just friendship but shelter and protection as well. But though he's found something to live for, Ulf is very aware that he's still being hunted. Less violent than author Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole series (not to mention a shorter read), this is a follow-up of sorts to Blood on Snow. |

| The Cartel: A Novel by Don WinsloweAudiobook. Suspense Fiction. This long-anticipated sequel to 2005's The Power of the Dog catches us up on DEA agent Art Keller's life: he's become a beekeeper for a New Mexico monastery. But when his nemesis, cartel leader Adán Barrera, escapes from a Mexican prison, Keller is drawn back into the world to stop the escalating violence between cartels. At nearly 600 pages, this is an epic tale, not only taking on personal vendettas but incorporating the very real damage done to bystanders in Mexican drug wars. |
