    Ghostman by Roger Hobbs -- a new thriller/crime story, starts off with a casino robbery.  Fast moving, and with a Tom-Clancy level of technical knowledge.


     Also, The Burgess Boys , Elizabeth Strout's  continuation of  Olive Kitteridge, very much in the same New England vein, which I happen to like very much.

Something that came out a while back and I forgot to put in here -- Jonathan Evison's  Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving.  A man whose life has come completely apart takes a night course and becomes a home health care worker, for a teenage boy with MD. They forge a strong relationship and he ends up taking the kid on a road trip to see his estranged father. There's a lot more to it but this is a book everyone should read if they get a chance - it's very, very good.
