Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston

I'm on a binge of discovering new authors. Never read any Huston before. I didn't realize what I was missing. Good stuff! Love a fresh take on a classic crime plot.

Drive by James Sallis

Discovered this book on several Amazon recommended crime fiction reading lists. The blurb on the cover says something like "hold onto your seat fast paced." It's not at all slow, but I wouldn't call it fast-paced exactly. It's short and tightly written. Very very slick with really interesting structure. I am now officially a huge James Sallis fan. Can't wait to read more.
