"Lost Light"-by a guy named Connelly, crime drama about a retired LA detective, starts slow but gets good.
tjpgi, if you enjoy that kind of reading check out "Rise to Rebellion" by Jeff Shaara. In fact I have a copy if you'd like it, respond here and I'll send you a message and get your home address and it comes to your mailbox a few days later, best part? Its FREE!
Enumclaw, if ya like Neal Stephenson try his 2nd novel "Zodiac: An Eco-Thriller".
Quite different from his current style but excellent fun and full of action.
