New in fiction: Gun Church, by Reed Farrell Coleman, author of the Moe Prager mysteries.  A former literary wunderkind, burnout from the coke-fueled Eighties (we're supposed to infer a Brat Packer a la Bret Easton Ellis), has ended up teaching English in a community college in upstate New York (rusticated!). He foils a school shooting in his own classroom, enters the news again, AND is prosyletised into a local cult, the Gun Church, that revolves around gun culture. The plot moves quickly from there, including a semi-digression concerning a former IRA gunman, into a quick and clever conclusion. Well worth reading, for thriller fans and others.
