50. Dead at Daybreak, Deon Meyer (audio)

Set in South Africa, 3 stories in one: the crime, the flashback, the life of the detective. Very good.

49. Donnie Brasco, Joseph D. Pistone with Richard Woodley

FBI agent passes 6 years undercover in the Mafia and is on the point of being made when operation ends. Life both dangerous and banal.

48. A Cold-Blooded Business, Dana Stabenow

Good time-passer, small bits of insight on the conflict between oil the Inuit, but I'd have liked more.

47. Shockwave: Countdown to Hiroshima, Stephen Walker

Three weeks leading up to the first bomb. Fascinating, even if you've read Hiroshima. Worth keeping if it had an index.

46. Agatha Raisin & The Case of the Curious Curate

Another murder in the Cotswolds and another handsome neighbour doesn't work out.

45. American Ground, William Langewiesche

Outstand literary narrative of the fall of the Twin Towers and the cleanup operation that followed.

44. Granta No. 105 - Lost and Found

This counts because I read the whole thing. Super issue.

43. The Overlook, Michael Connelly

Harry Bosch and Rachel Walling chase murderers and terrorists.
